PART II
"The dinner was wonderful," replied Amanda. "Time for some more medicine. Tomorrow, I'll need
to run to the grocery store, check in with Billy, and pick up some light case work for both of us. Let me
know what you can handle." "Sure," smiled Lee.
"How about watching a movie?" suggested Lee. They decided on "Sabrina" Amanda seemed tense as they
watched. Lee beckoned for her to curl up with himand relax so that he could massage her neck. "Mmm,
that feels so good," she sighed, and closed her eyes.
Even though Lee had a small extra bedroom, and the bed had been comfortable, Amanda had not slept
well. All the stress from the past week was finally catching up with her. Lee being away, the hospital
and his faked "death" had been traumatic for her. She swore to herself she wouldn't let it get to her, so
that Lee wouldn't see her cry. Also, her resolve to keep her feelings for him in check was getting weaker,
simply because she loved him more each day.
Despite Amanda's intentions, the tears came down in droves. Even though she was turned away from
him, Lee had been expecting a letdown. He heard her whimpering and saw her starting to shake. Lee
immediately switched the TV off, pulled Amanda into his lap, and put his arms around her, and let her
cry her tensions away.
PART III
"It's o.k., I'm here for you," Lee said, comforting her. "Mandy, it's o.k. He rubbed her back and her
tightly. Amanda buried her face in Lee's chest until the shaking stopped, and the tears spent. She
looked into his eyes and saw complete love for her there. "Thank you," she whispered, "for consoling me,
and for being the man you re." She kissed his cheek, then touched his lips softly with hers. Lee responded
"that's what I'm here for, as long as you need me." "Always," replied Amanda, "for the rest of my life."
Lee smiled back, shook his head, and took Amanda's lips in a deep, passionate kiss, not wanting the
sensation to end. They finally broke apart, breathless. "I know what you're upset about, it's the hospital,
and my "death", isn't it?" asked Lee. "Yes," admitted Amanda seriously, "I know it was play acting to
get the doctor. But, when I saw the monitor go flatline, it came to me, "what if this was real, I couldn't
take it. I can't lose you," cried Amanda, "not when we've just found-----" Amanda hesitated. Lee
completed the sentence for her, "love, Amanda?" "Yes," whispered Amanda hopefully. "I love you,
Amanda King, for such a long time now," said Lee huskily. "I love you, too, Lee," Amanda said softly,
her eyes full of tears.
"I want to thank you for being my Florence Nightengale, and to say I'm so glad that you are here with me.
You've made being sick worthwhile." Lee kissed her cheek, and wiped her tears away. "I also want to
tell you that you are the sweetest and sexiest boss I have ever had."
"Flattery will get you everywhere, Stetson," kidded Amanda. I think we need to get to bed. It's been quite
a day, and I'll be running tomorrow, too," she yawned.
