Derek followed her instructions and kissed her pulling her close as he did
so. "I won't forget," he promised. "If I get back before you leave, I'll
show you how to use the jack then. If not, we can do it tonight." He
paused for a moment, running a hand through her hair. "Julia, let me worry

out the stalker and see what we can find out," he added. "Don't let the
paperwork eat you alive."
