It was probably dangerous to zoom around an unfamiliar city at the high speeds Thomas pushed the Jaguar to. But once he'd emerged from 'Little Sherwood' and onto the mainway into the city, there was nothing but a diminishing self restraint that could hold Thomas back. He'd heard Justine on the waves, talked to her. She sounded distant, disconnected, and that worried him. But his face was cooled into a mask of carefully crafted indifference, made false by the zooming dance through the city. He'd seen the park a few times and knew where its general location was, but he was still entirely too unfamiliar to really make accurate speed and a proper arrival time. Minutes ticked by.
"Come on!" He growled to himself and floored it, until the car zoomed through the last turning street and revealed the park ahead. He swerved to a grinding halt with all the grace of a professional drifter--cringing for the sake of his car--and climbed out of it. And looked sexy doing it. Like he was emerging for a photo shoot, or a commercial reel for a cologne advertisement. His black leather jacket was open at the front, he wore a white shirt and jeans. Casual, but fashionable in a trend anyone would pick up by watching him.
Stowing the keys in his pocket, Thomas strode with the casual grace of a predator, and forced himself to slow his pace before he could draw attention to himself. He could feel Justine close.
