Tuesday Morning dawned bright and sunny. Lee had spent most of the night watching Amanda sleep, and he was spending the morning that way too. Finally, she stirred, and greeted him with a smile.

Morning, handsome, she whispered, as Lee leaned to kiss her. Have you been watching me all night? she questioned.

Most of It, he spoke quietly. I could watch you forever.

But, we need to get up, Amanda said, reminding him that today was a work day.

OK, he said, kissed her again, and rolled out of bed, only to stop and turn to face her. Amanda, I need to ask another favor. After a pause he continued. Could you take your car again this morning?

Being sneaky again, Scarecrow? Amanda laughed.

Well, sort of, but I'll let you in on this one when I get back, he promised.

Well, when you put it that way, Amanda rolled back onto the pillow, and flashed her husband the smile that she knew drove him crazy. Lee climbed back into bed; so what if they were a little late for work.

Later that morning, after he'd seen Amanda off, he got into his car and headed in the opposite direction. Now, he stood in front of a counter, waiting his turn in line.

the voice from behind the counter roused him back to reality. Can I help you?

Ah, yeah, Lee began. I need to buy a video camera.
