He walked down the hallway toward the elevators all the while thinking of her sweet angelic face and those bold expressive eyes. The way she moved with grace, poise, and control spoke of a lifetime of breeding but, everything else about this fascinating woman told him that was far from the truth. Andy's mind was still on Jordan when he got on the elevator and pushed the button for the lobby and slowly began his decent. The ding of the elevator brought him out of his thoughts and he stepped into the lobby and walked toward the exit. the same bellboy who had brought Jordan her food, stopped to watch him leaving the hotel. Not completely trusting the guy he made a mental note inquire about him in the morning.

He had lost the dinner jacket and mustache and was now wearing just the slacks and white dress shirt. He looked around for anyone who might recognize him and when he was satisfied that no one did, he continued on his way. He figured that it would be better for him to walk along the beach for a few minutes and then take a taxi to the village to look for a bar. Andy watched him look around cautiously for a minute and then walk toward the beach; tempted to follow him but decided that it would not be such a great idea. It was not quite dark yet and he would surely turn around and instantly know who he was and that he was following him. Instead he waited till the other man had walked down the beach a little way before turning around to walk back to his house.

All the way home Jordan invaded his thoughts as he remembered the day he first saw her on the beach walking in front of him, her hair blowing in the oceans early morning breeze. Sunlight reflecting off the soft waves illuminated her giving her angelic surreal features. He had thought she was a dream. Her loose, almost sheer white dress swirled about her ankles. She had taken her shoes off to walk in the wet sand and let the wave's crash over her feet and then retreat back into the ocean. Andy's lips had gone dry at the thought of caressing her smooth skin as the ocean had. When she left he decided that he had to see her again and talk to her so he went looking for her on the beach till he found her soaking in the warm morning sun. He had been watching her for almost an hour before she had gotten up walked toward him before collapsing at his feet. She had looked so helpless lying there. And he had felt it even then. His gut twisted at the sight of her beautiful face looking back at him with hollow eyes. He was so desperate to save her and protect her that he had convinced his close friend at the hospital to let him bring her home. He smiled to himself as he remembered the stunned look on her face the moment she had spun around and saw him. He himself had been taken aback at her beauty and those wide blue eyes that had studied him openly before she had quickly erased any emotion from her expression. Andy's thoughts led him to wonder who Darien was and what was causing Jordan to be so appealing to him. "It must be her silence and... " he thought for a moment before answering his own question. "Those huge eyes that sparkle like sapphires when she is angry" he claimed to anyone who was listening.
