“Well, she was.” He held her immobile, their bodies nearly touching. “She was worried sick.”

Those fierce blue eyes bored into her. His arm slid down, wrapped around her waist, and he hauled her the last few inches between them, pressing his body full-length against hers. “I was,” he said, and then he kissed her.
