English term or phrase: got a handful of his jean-clad rear end
Eva cerca di tenere il passo di Sean, letteralmente facendo una corsa dietro di lui, reggendosi quasi ad un certo punto a lui per non cascare

Leaving her to scramble out and follow him.
Trying to not be left behind, she ran into his back, literally.
He'd stopped a few feet away from his SUV, and Eva hadn't been paying attention.

She'd stuck out her hands to steady herself and got a handful of his jean-clad rear end.
