If a girl could die of embarrassment, Lyra was pretty sure she was walking that line right now.

Lyra wasn’t sure when the last time she felt this stupid was.

She couldn’t even figure out why she thought it was a good idea to bring him here, let alone bust into the lighthouse and… Do what?

She knew part of it had to do with proving to him that Starlight Harbor was a town worth honoring, not mocking. But seeing how quickly he’d accepted the town’s history and traditions had gone a long way in making her like him.

Also, the whole Clark Kent thing.

The Brandon Routh Clark Kent with the floppy hair and searing dark eyes.

She didn’t know what would happen if this exposé didn’t work to repair the damage he’d done. Noah had had a good point that just telling his people to stop wouldn’t make it happen. She knew Noah was right and there would need to be more to it than Hey, guys, don’t be mean to the baker girl.

Between the two of them they would have to make an article that walked the balance between getting the harassment to stop and not creating havoc for the rest of the town.

If they had an influx of gawkers ruining the peace they offered their guests, they’d never forgive her.

She started down the stairs, listening to him close the door behind him and checking the latch. She liked the thought of that too, not just the closing but the checking.

She always had a thing for considerate people. Probably because she hadn’t grown up with any in her house.

She shook her head. What kind of idiot is attracted to consideration? Especially from someone who was here because he’d shown none.

She had to get her head back in the game.

They passed the next landing with the windows, the innkeeper’s rooms. As they started past the next floor, the bright lights turned to shadows and then darkness.

“Does your cell have enough battery to light the rest of the way?”

She’d wanted to save the battery, but Noah wouldn’t let them down. That guy was so solid, he was granite.

Since making sure they didn’t fall down the stairs and die seemed more important than making a phone call, she flipped the screen back to on. At the bottom of the stairs, she and Spence made their way back to the door. It’d only been a few minutes, but they might as well be ready to bolt when Noah got there.

Spence had a broad smile on his face, like a little kid in a candy shop.

Or a cupcake shop if you were her.

“This place is amazing.” He ran his hand along the wall and then gave it a quick knock knock. “I can’t believe I’ve never been in a lighthouse. How is that possible?”

Here they were trapped in a former jail, and he was having the time of his life.

Lyra, not so much.

“I just wanted you to see how great Starlight Harbor is.” She could hear the frustration in her voice.
