So what's a girl like me to do
Drowning, drowning in you
And who's to save me from the blue
And carry, carry me through

Prue's first day at the auction house went smoothly. She was given a good-sized office, and introduced to her secretary, Tanya. All day, calls came in from people wanting their valuables appraised and sold. Finally, at six o'clock Prue left, exhausted but happy.
On impulse, she drove to Andy's apartment instead of to the manor. Her sisters could hear all the boring details they wanted tomorrow. Right now, the person she most wanted to share her day with was Andy.
"Hey, baby." he greeted when she knocked on his door. He looked happy to see her, and not all that surprised.
"Hi." she responded, moving in for a quick kiss. He pulled her inside, and shut the door.
"So, how was it?" he asked. "Tell me everything."
"It was wonderful." she said, following him into the living room and curling up next to him on the couch. "Hannah's kind of a bitch, but I guess I'll get used to her. Tanya, my secretary, is really sweet, and my boss, Rex, is amazingly charming."
Andy lifted his eyebrows, and put his arms around her possessively. "More charming than, oh say, moi?"
Prue giggled, then decided to tease him a bit. "Oh, yeah. Much more. And he's got such a great ass..." Prue's voice trailed off as she started cracking up. The look on her boyfriend's face was priceless.
"Evil bitch." he muttered as he got up and walked to the kitchen.
Prue laughed even harder at this. Forcing herself to keep a straight face, she called out, "I love you!"
"Bite me!" Andy yelled back, re-entering the living room with a bottle of water in hand.
Prue smiled at him seductively. "Mr. Trudeau, is that an invitation?"
Andy put the cap on the bottle and tossed it onto the table. "Hell yeah," he replied, jumping on top of her.
Prue giggled, and they made out for a while. It was just like old times. That is, it was until Andy's pager went off.
He sighed. "It's Darryl."
Prue nodded understandingly. "It's okay, honey. Go gind out what's up."
Andy went into the kitchen to make the call. He came out a short time later, and took his coat.
"I'm sorry, baby." he said. "I have to go."
"I'll be waiting here when you get back." she said.
Andy kissed her good-bye. "I love you." she said as he walked out the door.
"Love you, too, baby." he called back.
Prue went to the door, staring after him, and then shut it as he disappeared down the stairs. She picked up the bottle of water he'd discarded, and took a sip. It occured to her that he hadn't been gone more than a few minutes, and already she missed him.
Prue giggled out loud. The last time she'd been so happily in love, save her disatrous engagement to that ass, Roger, had been in high school. With Andy.
She wandered around his apartment for a while, thinking about how wonderful it was to feel that way. She couldn't wait for him to come back. As the hours ticked by, Prue started to worry. Finally, she pushed all thoughts to the back of her mind and decided to go to sleep, and let him wake her up when he got home.
That's when the phone call came.
