Jordan could feel Clark's eyes boring into her back as she made her way toward the lighthouse and a safe place to get away from this man. She didn't understand what it was about this man but, she seemed to have a hard time hiding her true feelings around him. Certainly it could not mean that she liked him but it was almost as if he knew her thoughts. Like he could somehow sense what she was feeling and thinking. She tried to push the bad feeling out of the pit of her stomach but it just didn't seem to want to go away. "So tell me, are you still up for that dinner that I promised you?" With fake enthusiasm she replied "Sure I'd love too, what time?" "Well the night life doesn't start around here till about eight o'clock so how about I pick you up about seven. We can go eat and then possibly dancing?" "That sounds nice." Jordan heard herself reply politely. "What shall I wear? Is this casual or a bit dressier?" "A nice dinner outfit will do." They grew silent for a moment and Jordan looked up and realized that they were almost to the lighthouse. She had wanted to explore it on her own so when they got there she would have to come up with a good excuse not to. Thoughts rushed through her head till she found a good excuse. When they reached that point she would tell him that she would like to go back to her hotel for a nap. There was something about this man that made her a bit uneasy. He seemed harmless and his intentions forthright but you could never tell.
They arrived at the lighthouse and stood staring up at its grandeur in silence. Clark was the one to break the silence first. "Would you look at that. " he said and whistled as looked up at the beautifully preserved lighthouse. It was now towering above them majestically inviting them to take a closer look at its talking walls. "I bet this old thing has seen some action in her days." Jordan simply stared from an awed Clark to the beautiful life sized work of art before her eyes. She decided that this would be a wonderful place for her to bring some of her work to escape the pain of life. They walked up to the door and Jordan knew it was time to make her escape. "Are you ready for an adventure through time?" Clark asked Jordan with a grin from ear to ear. Jordan could not resist a laugh at his boyish grin and playful eyes aglow with excitement. "I'm really sorry Clark but I'm afraid that all of this excitement has tired me for today. Maybe we could do this another time when I'm feeling a bit better." "Sure, how about we discuss it over dinner tonight?" She smiled at him though it was superficial. "That sounds nice." Clark smiled back thinking about what he would do with her tonight. He would wait till dark and then she would be his. His smile was not one of happiness but of pure evil. "I don't suppose you would walk me back to the hotel would you?" Clark took his place at Jordan's side as they headed back to the hotel.
