Friday at the Train Station..
Amanda sat in the driver's seat of her station wagon and took in the bustling scene at the train station. 'This is where it all started" she marveled. "If Dean ever knew...if Mother ever knew!" Amanda chuckled as a man with a bright red hat passed quickly by but, as her eyes followed him, she could see Dean's train pull into the station. Gripping the steering wheel once more, she hoped to shake off the foul mood that had been clouding around her all day.
'Why am I so cranky?' she wondered as she strode over to the platform. "I should be thrilled that Dean's back home! And we've got that big date tomorrow night." Amanda knew Dean was ecstatic that he'd be receiving the "Weatherman of DC" award at the banquet. "I should be happy..."
"Yes you should be Mandy baby!" Dean hollered as he swept Amanda up in his arms.
She *hated* being called 'Mandy' but it was one of Dean's few faults. She couldn't take her funk out on him when she knew that her bad mood was really due to Francine. After all, Cat Woman had berated her typing accuracy in front of the entire steno pool. Or maybe it was because Billy asked her to make coffee and a donut run-three times before noon...
Dean happily chatted and stroked Amanda's arm as they walked side by side back to her car. She nodded her head in agreement as he prattled off details of his trip but a certain thought kept popping up in her head. She realized that she had only seen Lee once all day and that was just a glimpse of his heel as he hopped on the elevator right when she arrived to work. 'Off to some mysterious mission I bet. What could Lee be up to?' she wondered as Dean continued to gush about his business trip....
