The rest of the afternoon was spent with Jordan hearing Andy stories from Mrs. Sparks and then resting quietly in the early afternoon sun on the beach. She discovered she enjoyed Andy's company more and more. Mrs. Sparks was also quite fond of him and her stories of his childhood made Jordan laugh. He was quite the tenacious tot never missing anything. The sun began to set low in the sky as they made their way back inside to tell Mrs. Sparks farewell.

They made their way back to her hotel and she sat at the table and waited while Andy got a glass of water and pain medicine for her. He looked in the drawers next to the phone for a room service menu. "Andy." Her words sounded strange even to her own ears. He stopped looking for the menu and looked up. "Yes."

Andy's smile was enough to take Jordan's breath away. "You keep staring at me like that and you won't be glad in the morning." He said with a laugh. Jordan looked confused for a moment and then matched Andy's grin with one of her own. "Whatever do you mean?" She asked teasingly but, she knew exactly what he meant. "So, do you want to order a hamburger from room service?" "No I really don't eat stuff like that maybe we could go out for a while to a nice quiet place." Jordan's eyes pleaded with him to say yes. He studied her for a moment. "Sure. I think I have just the place. Are you up for a drive?" Her quite speech suddenly turned into super speed. "Why not; let's go. Just let me get dressed first. Oh. What should I wear?" he grinned at her enthusiasm "Whatever you like the dress is casual." "Great I'll go change. Be back in a few." He reached for the bag beside the couch for his laptop. "'Take your time."
