She looked up at him, took in his expression and choked on a bit of a laugh. Oh, Ro... If that was what he was after, she'd certainly indulge him. Absolutely indulge him. She's missed that part of their relationship almost as much as she's missed his physical presence in her life. "Don't tease me, not now. I...I can barely think straight and that's not fair."
She was trying to get scattered thoughts in line, what to do with him now? Where to go? What to say and how? And please, please let her get a shower and a change of clothes before settling on any of that. His hands in her hair distracted her once more and she sighed softly.
"Mmm...no. Nothing important, nothing's more important than you being here now." Later, once the men had gone home for the day, maybe she would show him The Red King and why they all knew re Rosso on sight. "We can go? I mean, you must be tired and I'm a mess and well, I suppose there are about a million things I want to ask you, tell you, show you...how, how long have you been here?"
He'd been searching for her? Oh, what if he'd tried calling and she'd ignored him? Pippa winced and bit her bottom lip. "I'm sorry if you had difficulty."
