Model answer: Jess had been waiting a long time.
Try this
Frowning, Jess held her wrist to the moonlight to peer at her watch. Ten minutes had become twenty. So what? It wouldn't feel so long in daylight. It wouldn't feel so long in a crowded noisy bar. Here in the eerie shadows of the ancient temple ruins it was easy to get spooked, that was all.
OK. She was starting to get cross now. A bit late didn't mean he had any right to leave her standing here in the darkness. For thirty minutes now!
It wasn't so great in the dark in the shifting moon shadows that made a monster out of every massive tree, a stalking horror out of every unseen animal.
Forty-seven minutes! Time to go.
