Jordan yawned as she looked over the facts, over and over again. Her eyes were now a pale shade of grey, a sure sign she hadn't been sleeping. Which she hadn't, she had been up all night at the police station. Collecting information and had spent the rest of her night slash morning, researching the information. Her dark hair was tied back behind her head and she was dressed in a pair of loose fitting black pants and a plain black tank top. She still smelt like coconut and honey from the shower she had taken an hour or so ago.
William had arrived back from Las Vegas an hour before, and was on his way home when he decided to stop by Jordan's. He had gotten the name of the place Jordan had been attacked, and decided it was best to check it out himself. After leaving messages for Destiny and Emmeline, he had headed out, and spent the past few days on surveillance. Leaving a private investigator to continue it, he needed to sleep in his own bed again. But he felt like he should check on Jordan. he hobbled on his cane to her door, and knocked on it, waiting for her to come out.
She jumped slightly at the knock and as she did, she overturned her chair and squawked as it fell back and she hit the ground. She groaned faintly as her head bounced off the ground." Note to self, don't tip back on chairs." She muttered with a scowl before she hauled herself to her feet. Her hands went to the new locks she had put on her door and once she had those free, she pulled the door open.

"I couldn't. Never." He looked at her with an openness he wasn't used to. "I care about you, Jordan. Very deeply." He cleared his throat, and looked around rather uncomfortably. "I'll call you soon. You should come over. Meet Destiny. Have dinner."
Jordan swallowed as he spoke those words. Her eyes were slightly wide and her breathing had gone up a notch." I care about you too, William." She muttered softly before she nodded her head." I'll do that one of these days, most definitely."
William wanted to say more, but he wanted to give Jordan the time that she needed. He moved towards her and he pulled her close one more time, hugging her as closely as he could. "I'll talk to you soon, my dear one." He kissed her cheeks, and then, walking on his cane, began heading out.
Jordan watched as William left and the only thought that crossed her mind was "how in the hell did I get so lucky?" She fell back onto her bed and blinked as she looked up at the ceiling. Up until now, her history with guys was poor. She had prided herself on being independent and strong and yet in this place of all places, she had found someone who treated her right. She understood the lying at the beginning and right now, she was completely blown away.
