Does he?

He doesn't need to

"Thanks for your help," Jack said with a smile as Hunter wrapped up his short travelogue. "Those are great suggestions." He held out a hand in thanks and Hunter shook it, smiling and nodding at Libby's echoing of her husband's gratitude. Terry nodded and muttered something incomprehensible, while Sondra gave him a flashing smile as she tossed her hair over her shoulder and held out her hand.

"You've been wonderful!" she said with a throaty laugh. "We'd have been here all afternoon...." she broke off with a gasp as Hunter took her offered hand.

"Are you alright, Sondra?" Libby asked with sudden concern.

"Yeah...yes...I'm fine. Just a sudden chill..." she answered, slowly extricating her hand from Hunter's grasp. Hunter's nostrils were filled with a surge in her aroma, and he gave her a concerned smile and patted her shoulder.

"You should have brought a sweater," he said kindly. "It can get chilly here." He felt her shudder slightly at his touch, her eyes smouldering at him.

"I...I...I need to use a restroom," she suddenly blurted. "Is there one nearby?"

"You just went back in the restaurant," Terry objected.

"And now I need to go again," she said firmly, not looking away from Hunter.

"There's a public one in a building lobby about a block away," Hunter said with a smile as he pointed.

"You guys go ahead," Sondra said to her parents and fiance. "I'll catch up. I have a map." She turned to Hunter with a taut smile. "Can you show me please?"

Does he?
