Such an embarrassing thing to happen.’ His expression changed to one of concern. ‘Are you all right now?’ He placed his arm around her shoulders. ‘Let me take you home.’ ‘That’s just what I was about to do,’ Bowman said, clenching his fists at his sides. ‘What’s the problem, Captain?’ Rupert shot a scornful look at the motorcycle. ‘You’re thinking of taking Miss Lennox on that suicidal machine? You must be mad. You’ll come with me, Daisy.’ She knew it was useless to argue.
