The sun was starting to go down when Crystal read signs that let her know they were near the Palm Coast area. She didn’t say much, just watched out the window and waited nervously to see what would happen next. She had no use for conversation, not right now.

Blake pulled his car into the parking area of a hotel. The lot was dark with only one streetlight on each end and it was filled with cars but only a few people wandered around. She didn’t know whether to feel relief or nervousness at the fact that he stopped the car.
