DH used a particular word earlier that happened to describe a scenario perfectly, and now neither of us can think what it was! It was referring to somebody ‘making a beeline’ for someone, but it wasn’t that phrase. We think it was a straightforward verb. It has completely gone out of both of our heads.. any wordy types around tonight able to hazard a guess?! Quite literally coming between me and my sleep!

What was the context? With hostile intention? Amorous? To do something specific when they got to wherever they were headed?
