The beginning of the two weeks without seeing Ryan went by slow at first for Amanda. Then toward the end the time seemed to shoot by. The day after Amanda heard of Ryan's release from solitary she still didn't see him. In her heart Amanda knew that if Ryan wanted to see her he would she just had to wait from that time to come. The next couple of days were going to be hectic for Sister Pete which meant that they would be hectic for Amanda as well. Amanda's phone was constantly ringing from Sister Pete wanting certain files or certain reports. This chaos was all due to the fact that the Governor was about to make his annual visit to Oz to make sure everything is in order and to see if their recent budget will be approved. Sister Pete told Amanda that this day was very important to everyone and that her records had to be perfect. After Amanda had finished her work for Sister Pete, she sent her to go help doctor Nathan with the things she needed to get in order for the Governor's visit. Amanda didn't mind the work it gave her something to do. As she walked into the prison infirmary she saw just how hectic doctor Nathan had it. When doctor Nathan turned around to see Amanda she smiled and said "Thank you God!! I'm so glad you are here. We are swamped with the Governor's visit plus there was just a big fight in the cafeteria and two men we seriously hurt. Ok let me show you what I need you to do." Amanda followed her to a caged office right next to the entrance. As Amanda followed doctor Nathan she noticed the huge pile of files and papers piled on top of her desk. "Ok. These are all the files I need you to go though and put in order alphabetically then put them back in the filing cabinet." She pointed to an old black filing cabinet which was also covered in vanilla color folders. Just as Amanda was realizing all the work that she was going to have to do a women nurse began to call doctor Nathan. "Ok do you understand everything?" She hurriedly asked. Amanda just shook her head yes. "Good. I have to go!" Doctor Nathan said then ran to find where she was needed.

After about 2 hours of sorting the files about still didn't have over ½ of the job done. Soon she heard her stomach growl and proceeded to look at the clock. 1:15. She hadn't eaten since about 6:30 that morning. Just when she started to think of what she wanted to eat she heard the doors of the infirmary open. Amanda stood up slightly to see over the piles of folders to see who had entered. She was startled when she saw Ryan's face enter with the food cart. In her head Amanda couldn't believe that she forgot that he did that. Amanda tried to hurry and duck down so he wouldn't see her but before she could get her head down Ryan looked over right at her. The expression on his face was a mixture of anger and sadness. Ryan hurried to make his rounds and got out of there as soon as he could. Amanda could understand why he hurried. The whole situation was hard on both of them. Finally Amanda finished sorting and filing all the folders in the office. When she went to tell doctor Nathan she was stitching some guy's head up. "Doctor Nathan, I finished." Amanda said. "Oh thank you SOO much!! I owe you." She said happily. As Amanda walked out she looked to see what time it was. 5:20. Amanda didn't realize she had been there so long. She realized that she needed to hurry and get out of there before Ryan made his rounds again. As she walked out the doors she saw the meal cart coming around the corner. Amanda decided to wait outside in the corner until Ryan had passed. While she watched the cart approach the doors she noticed that Ryan wasn't the one pushing it. Instead some other guy Amanda recognized from the kitchen made his way though the doors. Amanda wasn't surprised that Ryan had asked someone else to do his rounds. Amanda decided that she was going to leave work early. As she walked down the hall she saw one of the guards walking towards her. Amanda put her head down to avoid making eye contact. The next stop up the hall was the Dining hall. Amanda wasn't sure if she should look in to see if she would see Ryan. Her urge to see him again got the better of her and Amanda started to peek thought the small crack in the door. Amanda couldn't see anything let alone Ryan. She needed an excuse to go in there. In the distance Amanda could see Murphy on watch as the prisoners slowly began to finish their dinners and make their way back to Emerald City. She decided to approach Murphy and find some excuse to look around and see if Ryan was in there. As she walked towards Murphy she looked around to find Ryan. Just before she was about to give up on her search she saw him come out of the storage room carrying some soap. Amanda smiled. She knew what she was going to do now. When she approached Murphy he looked at her with curiosity. "Hey Amanda what are you doing here?" He asked. "I've been working for doctor Nathan and I just got off. I haven't eaten anything all day." Amanda said setting him up. "Well, you can see if there is anything in the break room but I doubt there is since so many people are staying late for the Governor's visit." He said. Amanda made and annoyed face. "Well then what am I supposed to do?" She said with fake frustration. "Well some people have gotten food in here. Its actually pretty good. But you better hurry dinner is almost over. They will be wrapping up the leftovers." Murphy informed her. "Thanks Murph. I'll do that. I think I'll wait until all the prisoners are gone." She said satisfied her plan worked. "Well this is the last bunch so your good to go. Oh except for O'Reily, its his night to clean the kitchen." He said. "Thanks. Later." Amanda turned and slowly made her way to the buffet. By the time she had reached the counter Murphy and all the other prisoners had left. Amanda didn't see Ryan by the buffet so she decided to make her way around the kitchen to find him. As she was walking around she heard a loud bang coming from the storage room. When she reached the storage room she could see Ryan on the floor cleaning up something he had clumsily dropped. Amanda slowly walked into the frame of the door and stood there trying to think of what she was going to say. Amanda said the first thing to come out of her mouth, "I need you." Ryan quickly turned around and saw Amanda standing in the doorway. "What is it." He said callously. Ryan got off his knees and stood up. Amanda walked towards him. "What do you want." Ryan said cruelly. Amanda didn't pay any attention to his demeanor and kept walking towards him. Soon they were face to face and Amanda reached for Ryan and began to kiss him on his supple lips. At first Ryan resisted then he slowly began to sink deeper into the passionate kiss. Suddenly pulled back. "What are you doing. You said this was over and that this could never work." Ryan said confused. Amanda looked into his hurt eyes, "Screw what I said. I was wrong and I'm sorry. I'm sorry I hurt you like I did. I just didn't want to give you a chance for you to hurt me." Amanda poured out. Ryan just looked at Amanda and kissed her again. "Amanda I could never hurt you. Never. I love you." With that Amanda was hooked. "I love you too." Amanda said as she leaned in to kiss him again. Soon their kiss changed to a heated embrace which then led to the joining of their bodies. After their steamy joining Amanda told Ryan "I'll love you no matter what and as soon as you get out we will be together no matter what." To that Ryan said, "Can you wait 6 more years." Amanda quickly said back "I can wait forever." Time soon passed and Amanda and Ryan stayed together. Everyday she would look at her calendar to see if the circled date was any closer. "3 years 6 months and 27 days left!" And when the days were finally down to 0 Amanda and Ryan both left Oz and started their life out again one this time together.
