Welcome to Tuesday Tales! This week's word prompt is “girl”. We are back with Dani in my Sci-Fi story. It is a little shorter than normal.

“Danielle.” The deep, authoritative voice echoed off the ornate lobby walls. Dani fought back an eyeroll but her reflection tattled on her. Hopefully Julian didn’t see it.
He stopped short of running into her and smashing her into the barrier between her and the outside. A large hand reached past her and grasped the brass handle. “Our car is waiting for us.”
Dani didn’t budge an inch. “I look ridiculous in this get up.”
Julian tisked at her before he chided her. “Silly girl. Do you want to overheat in those frumpy, matronly clothes you arrived in?”
She glanced up at him. He gazed down at her as his tongue grazed his lower lip. He continued speaking. “You look much better in these clothes.”
“You said the car was waiting, didn’t you?” She brushed his hand off the handle then yanked the door open. She strode ahead of him as fast as she could. She knew he was on her heels. It didn’t matter. The more space she put between him and her, the better she would feel.
The driver of the luxury SUV must have sensed that he was sent for them because he flung the back door open as Dani stormed towards him. To be honest, Dani didn’t even look for any other vehicles that could have been hired by Julian. Maybe it was because he seemed to summon high-end, extremely expensive automobiles that could handle the terrain they were working in. It was never a pickup truck or something that could take a beating as they bounced over rocks and sand. Did he do this every time he came to Egypt? What was he trying to prove?
She smiled at the driver as he offered his hand to help her inside. She barely got settled in her seat before Julian lumbered in behind her.
