They both turned to where Andy was talking to Ken and smiled. "It's really great that your husband gets along so well with Andy." "I know Andy and I are very close and it would be very hard if they had nothing in common. I guess that's how I knew that Ken was truly the right one." Jordan smiled. She knew what it meant to have someone in your life that was amazing. Her family had really liked Darien and he liked them. His death had hit everyone hard but that was in the past. She was here to try and recover and move on no matter how hard that was for her to do. Renada noticed her stony gaze. "Is something the matter dear?" "Not at all." Smiling brightly and rising from her chair Jordan walked over to where Andy and Ken stood sipping drinks at the bar next to the pool. Andy greeted her with a smile and put an arm about her waist. "What's up?" "Oh I guess I just got lonely with you over here talking to Ken and I decided to tell you about it." He laughed at her. "No really I came over to tell you that I really need to get back to the hotel and get a few things taken care of. "Okay that's fine. I'll just tell everyone good-bye and then we can go." Renada came over to stand next to Ken. She knew there was more than just needing to get back that was bothering Jordan but if she didn't want to talk about it or share there was nothing she could do about it. Jordan turned to Renada and gave her a quick hug. "Thank-you for everything Renada I hope I will see you again soon." "Oh I'm pretty sure that we'll meet up again sometime." Renada gave Andy a mischievous grin over Jordan's shoulder as she hugged her back.
Jordan waved good-bye as Andy's jeep pulled away from the house and sighed in contentment.
The ride home was a quiet one. Andy seemed to be caught in his thoughts as much as she was. The sun was just starting to set when they pulled up in front of the hotel. "So what are you doing later?" "I have some work that I need to finish so maybe we can just see each other tomorrow." Jordan had insisted that she was recuperated enough to care for herself and had told Andy to pack his belongings and take them home that morning. Now he regretted doing so. He got out of the car and came over to open her door for her. "Come on I'll at least walk you to the door to know that you got in okay." "I'm fine really but if you insist." He smiled down at her as he held out his hand. "I do insist." Jordan looked into a pair of affectionate hazel eyes and her heart melted. She took his outstretched hand. They walked silently to the elevator. Once upstairs she unlocked the door and asked if he would like to come in for a few minutes. He nodded and followed behind her closing the door. "I really enjoyed today and I'm glad that we went. Your sister is an amazing person." "Yeah she was always so much fun when we were kids. So what kind of stuff do you have to do?" "Oh I have some work I need to get done." "I thought you were here on vacation and to relax?" "Yes, I am but I still have something that I have to get finished with before I go back I've put it off as long as I can and I just have to get in there and get it done. I don't want it hanging over my head for the rest of the trip. I want to spend the last few days I have enjoying myself and knowing that I don't have this thing staring me in the face every time I turn around." "Well maybe I can help you with it." "No this is something I alone have to do but, thanks for the offer. Don't worry I'll be fine." He stood next to the couch suddenly nervous. "So can I see you tomorrow?" She nodded enthusiastically. "I'd really like that. Say about ten o'clock we can go sightseeing or swimming or something." "Sounds great to me we can decide what we want to do when I get here." "Sure. Be careful going home." "I will and you know where I am if anything happens or you need anything." She nodded again. "I really appreciate it but I don't think that I have anything to worry about. I should be safe." "Just the same I'm here if you need me."
