We didn't sit together or speak. I often caught her looking at me out of the corner of my eye, but I never looked back. She joined another study group easily. I had offers because my grades were great, but I preferred to study alone.After 2 full weeks the stalemate was still going strong and it might have.

Then they very faintly heard boots going down the stairs.Finally all three of them let out a relieved breath.Forty feet below at the base of the lighthouse, they could hear Cal Kidd’s voice. “It’s all clear. They ran.”They couldn’t make out what.
