His hand was smooth and warm, a few degrees warmer than it should be, and that heat sank into me, but it was not his heat that made me gasp.

It was like heat lightning, flashes of brilliance without sound that told of an impending storm. It awakened something within me, something I did not know existed, and took my breath away. I had never felt anything like it before. ↗

I think the issue is that Americans traveling abroad if gotten into legal problems should have access to a fair trial and an impartial tribunal. ↗
