She was trying to think of something to say to the other girls that she was sitting with - announcing that he was her boyfriend would definitely invite questions about how he coincedently happened to show up here, in all of his crime-fighting glory, at this very bistro where she was having lunch. She just didn't know how to respond to that. As she watched Brett with his take-charge attitude, assessing the situation and directing people, her head tilted delicately and she felt so distanced from the situation for a few long moments. Suddenly though - sparked by the hard edge to Brett's all-business gaze, her eyes began to burn and she inhaled a sharp breath as she fully awoke to the activity surrounding them. The other girls who were now chit-chatting excitedly amongst themselves looked to her quickly, but she forced a tight smile and stood, gesturing to the bathrooms and saying she would be right back. As soon as she was awake from the table, she inhaled a few gasping breaths on her way to duck into the bathroom - she was stopped by one of the agents who firmly, but very kindly, suggested that she had to stay right here for the moment. She opened her mouth to protest, but her words caught in her throat and her eyes welled with tears - all of a sudden very overwhelmed and trying very hard not to let the panic get her.

As soon as he saw her moving he was out after her, stepping up behind her and quickly shutting up Marc who was trying to tell her to just be calm and stay where she was. His eyes were hard and cold when he gazed down at her, his tone firm. "Unless your water is breaking this very second, Dominique, I suggest you go sit back down with the friends that you so desperately needed to spend time with this afternoon." He nearly growled out the words, frustation lining his tone and features. It was all born out of fear though he would never admit it. He was afraid for her, afraid that next time he wouldn't get there in time. He knew his arrival was what had sent Luca taking off, that the man hadn't planned out the execution of his desires well enough this time but next time...well Luca wouldn't make the same mistake. He was scared to death of losing her, he felt like he couldn't breathe and he just had to stay in this hard agent mode in order to keep from freaking out completely.
