EMILY'S HOME-PART 03
Emily's Farnsworth's home in Vienna was beautiful beyond words. It showcased Victorian style décor,
soft treatments of traditional colors in the guest rooms, pastels and muted beiges. The living and dining
rooms adorned with Victorian furniture, featuring accenting oriental rugs, for a formal, yet comfortable
appearance.
Lee and Amanda were given adjacent guest rooms with a common door between them. Lee loved her home, Amanda couldn't get over the beauty and hospitality, Emily's domicile offered.
Amanda called her mother, and received an excited response, with an additional "have a good time."
Emily provided a sumptuous lunch for her friends. She asked if they wanted to rest a little while, and perhaps, she could schedule dinner at an Italian restaurant, since traditional Viennese fare would be
enjoyed later in the week.
Amanda and Lee decided that a nice afternoon nap would be just what the doctor ordered.
Lee's mood was exuberant, but he settled down, and sleepily wondered how a day could have gone so
well, and there was more to come.
He knocked softly on the common door between their bedrooms. Amanda answered, "come in, Lee."
Lee smiled, entered her room, and found her resting on the spacious bed.
"Just checking in with you. Everything o.k.?"
"Everything's wonderful. Emily's house is beautiful, she is a great friend. I'm spending the next few days
with my best friend. I get to see Vienna with him, and he isn't even angry with me. What else can I say ?"
Lee sat on the edge of Amanda's bed, and took both her hands. "I'm very sorry for those angry times I've
put you through. They were unjustified, I know. I want to try and make amends the next few days. I know
Emily sent for you originally, but I'm so glad you came," he touched her cheek. "I've loved being with you so far.
"Amanda, I want you to know, that you mean so much to me," Lee started getting caught up in his emotions.
Without thinking, he brushed his lips against hers. Amanda had no complaints concerning this action.
She caressed his cheek, and returned raggedly, "You should get some sleep now, Scarecrow. We have some busy times ahead"
Lee nodded affirmatively, turning to return to his bedroom.
"Lee, by the way." Amanda stopped him, "The feeling is mutual."
Scarecrow's face lit up like a Christmas tree, with that certain smile, only for his partner, showing those
dimples that could drive one to distraction.
Both agents woke just before 5:00 p.m. after refreshing naps.
Emily and Charles treated them to La Bella Casa, a charming Italian restaurant featuring delicious lasagna,
veal parmesan, etc.
Charles was attentive, and talked of his work, and his friends. He came to Vienna often on business, and
had many interests and acquaintances. He loved the city's charm and elegance, very different than stuffy
London. Emily spent her share of time at the British Embassy, and socializing with Charles.
Once back at the Farnsworth house, Charles and Emily said their "goodnights" to their young, American
guests. Emily suggested that the two might like a walk along the Danube.
It was a pleasant night, and there was Emily knew, on a short bridge, where the city lights and charm
overwhelmed a person .
She gave Lee the keys to her Rolls Royce, and told him the exact directions to take, and to be careful.
Lee smiled up at her on the stairs, kissing her hand, and shaking his head, as was his habit when the
situation pleased him exceedingly.
"Go on, get out of here, you charmer. Have a good time, you two. Not too late, now. We have a 9:00 a.m.
tourist call tomorrow."
Charles agreed with her silently, as he viewed the whole scenario. They were the Stetson's of old all over
again. It was obvious to him that Lee and Amanda were just as much in love as Lee's parents were.
Our favorite couple drove in silence, each deep in their own thoughts. The trip took only ten minutes to
The Voosten Bridge, which, when you walked to the other side of the Danube, led to some picturesque
Viennese cafes.
Lee stared at his companion and thought, "How beautiful she looks tonight in that brilliant red gown and wrap." He seized her hand from across the driver's seat, and she responded with a smile that melted his
heart.
They walked hand in hand over the Voosten, and stopped to enjoy the aura that only Vienna could wrap you up in. The sweet melody of a Strauss waltz wafted in the slight breeze that had picked up.
Scarecrow noticed that Amanda had shivered a little, and offered his tuxedo jacket for warmth. She declined, the shiver she felt was not from the cold, but from her partner's nearness.
Lee leaned in to kiss her, very lightly. Amanda eagerly responded. She wrapped her arms around his neck,
and kissed him deeply and possessively. Lee responded in kind, pulling her to him as closely as possible.
They broke the kiss after a few minutes for breath.
"Oh, Amanda," Lee whispered, "what's happening to us? I want to be so much more than your best friend," he had his face buried in her hair.
Amanda replied, her eyes closed, "Maybe it's Vienna's magic, Lee. Maybe, it's a new discovery or
deepening of feelings between us. Perhaps, it's both. All I know is I love being held in your arms like this,
and kissed by you. I never want it to end." She held him closer.
Lee kissed her again, teasing his tongue along her lips. Amanda opened her mouth for him to enter immediately. Their kisses became fervent, tongues joining, dancing, and exploring.
Lee's lips drifted to her neck. Amanda lifted her head back to give him better access. He planted tiny kisses along her neck and jaw, and came back to claim her lips once more. They definitely were totally
absorbed in one another.
An older couple walking by became slightly embarrassed at the lip lock the young couple were engaged in.
The older gentleman coughed slightly, bringing the two out of their reverie.
The seniors smiled as they continued their walk. Lee and Amanda 's faces went a blushing pink from
embarrassment. Scarecrow smiled at Amanda, and they continued walking, hands entwined, both their
emotional levels at an all time high.
"Would you like to stop for espresso and desert at one of the cafes?" Lee asked, nodding over to the area
beyond the bridge. "Yes, that would be nice," Amanda agreed.
They ordered espresso and apfelstrudel, an Austrian dessert featuring sliced apples with cinnamon and other complimentary spices. The dessert was delicious.
It was getting late, and they knew they had to get back. For Lee, it was a new world opening up to him, for
now he knew for certain that he loved Amanda. Dr. Hanover had been correct concerning the charm of this
city for a young couple.
Once back at Emily's home, Lee kissed his partner goodnight, and said, "See you in the morning."
Amanda thought this must be heaven. She did not want to come down to earth.
