Katie's family had a mansion on the shore of Stetle Lake, and the road to their mansion passed over a hill and wound down its side, giving Jack a fantastic view of their mansion below.
The mansion appeared to have only one floor above ground on the uphill side, away from the lake, but several floors were exposed on the lake-facing side. Past the mansion was a garden and lawn that stretched to the water's edge.
As he drove along the winding road towards Katie's home, he wondered how their first date would go. He was looking forward to meeting her again and wondered if she would respond to him as strongly as Samantha had.
The driveway was a short cobblestone lane that ended in a circle in front of the house.
As Jack drove his Maybach S680 up the lane towards the house, he admired the landscape and the mansion's architecture. It was a tasteful blend of local and Mediterranean styles.
