Crocodile Tears (Romance Expected Dating Service #2)

Becci

Cal’s hand signals are surprisingly specific and completely incomprehensible to someone who learned communication through peer-reviewed journals rather than military operations.

When he makes what appears to be an elaborate gesture involving pointed fingers and circular motions, I interpret it as “check that door” rather than what it apparently means.

I reach for the door handle just as footsteps approach from the other side. His reflexes are faster than my curiosity, and he pulls me back against the wall with controlled urgency that suggests extensive experience in avoiding detection.
