"Good Night, Florence, my sweet nurse," Lee kissed Amanda tenderly. "Good night , Scarecrow,
sleep tight." "I wish you were going to be with me, just so I can wake up with you in my arms,"
Lee hoped. "You never know," remarked Amanda.
Later in the night, Amanda couldn't sleep, so she knocked on Lee's bedroom door, "come on in,"
a tired voice said. "I can't sleep," yawned Amanda. Lee patted his bed. "hop in, there's plenty of room.
I can't sleep either. Cuddle with me. I meant it when I said I want to wake up with you in my arms.
That is about the only way I can now get a good nights sleep." Amanda's eyes were already closed.
She was asleep in Lee's arms. He kissed her forehead and closed his eyes, nodding off.
Amanda left to run her errands early the next morning. Lee got on the telephone to T. P. Aquinas to
ask a special favor. "T. Pervical Aquinas here, oh hi, Lee. What can I do for you?" "Hi, T. P., this
is an unusual request. Would you be able to get two tickets to Phantom of The Opera for me at the
Kennedy Center, front row, if possible? I don't care about the cost, for one night this week." Lee
was anxious. "I'll see what I can do. Hot date, Lee," kidded T.P. "T. P. cool it. These are for Amanda
and myself. She has wanted to see Phantom for a long while. I would have to know soon because I
want to make dinner reservations at La Parie before the show. " "What's the occasion, Lee?" kidded
T. P. "No occasion," answered Lee, "I just want to thank her for all she has done for me, and all she has
been to me." "That's great," said T. P. "Lee, off the record, my friend, are there wedding bells in your
future?" "Could be, T. P., could be," hoped Lee.
"You couldn't do better than Amanda, Lee. She is made for you." "Thanks, I completely agree. Listen,
I don't want Amanda to know about this, it's a surprise. She's staying with me to help me get well, so
call back as soon as possible. She is running errands right now for the better part of the day." "Gotcha,
Scarecrow."

T. P. managed to get two tickets for Tuesday night and dinner reservations had been made. Lee surprised
Amanda Monday night, after she got back with a dozen red roses, the Kennedy Center tickets, and the
dinner reservations. The card with the roses simply stated, Amanda, to thank you for all you have done
for me. All my love, Lee.
"Oh, Lee, thank you. I love you. I'm so excited." She threw herself into his arms and kissed him softly.
"Amanda, what about a dress, etc. You're not at home and your Mom doesn't know. Go shopping
tomorrow. Get yourself everything. Then you can leave your things here, and use them when you need
them again, o.k.." "Yes," Amanda replied, "what did I do to deserve you?" Lee answered her sincerely,
"You came into my life, and showed me unconditional love, and made me a better man because of it,"
smiled Lee, as he took her in his arms and kissed her soundly. Amanda smiled back through her tears.
"When are you going to return to work, Lee? How do you feel?" asked Lee's temporary boss. "I
could go back on Wednesday, but I want another day with you, Mandy, or should I say, Boss," Lee
teased her lovingly. "I'll call Billy and tell him we'll be in Thursday, and let Mother know I'll be
home Thursday night.
"I'm going to miss you. Even though I see you at work, it's not the same as being here with you right
now," Lee sounded a little sad.
"We'll work around it," promised Amanda, I'll try and spend more time with you , and you can come to
the house too."
"Amanda, thank you for this time with me. Getting to know you only makes me want to be with you
a lot more often."
"I wouldn't have been anywhere else, Lee. I love you, Scarecrow."
"I love you, too, Mrs. King."
