added.
“Are there any he seems to date seriously?”
“Three.”
“May I see them?”
She stared at the picture of the first woman. She was an elegant, classy brunette with her hair piled on top of her head, requiring all that hairspray Chad had teased Amanda about not having when they first met. While Chad seemed happy, Amanda saw nothing in his eyes to convince her he cared about the woman. The next was a red-haired woman with mounds of teased hair, wearing a provocative dress. They looked very intimate in the photo captured through a window. Amanda suspected their relationship was more sexual than heartfelt.
However, the last woman worried her. She could see genuine affection for the pretty woman with the long, blonde hair. “Do you have more shots of this woman?”
Her heart broke as over a hundred pictures of the two lovers flashed before her eyes. She couldn’t delude herself any longer. Adam was correct. Chad had no need of an old and very temporary flame. She was simply a loose end he needed to cut.
“I wish I could give you comfort,” Adam said.
“So do I,” she admitted, and buried her face in her pillow to cry herself to sleep.

When Amanda woke, Adam informed her he had purchased her a ticket to the strings recital that night and she needed to dress.
“I’m not up to a recital.”
“From my understanding of heartbreak, you won’t be ‘up’ to anything for a very long time, but since you leave for Europe in three days, you need to learn how to function with a broken heart, and tonight is a good time to start. So get up and get dressed.”
She glared at him. “You’re a very bossy phone!”
He laughed. “Yes, I am, but since you cannot manage without your very bossy phone, you should do as I say.”
She sighed and stared at her closet.
“The black gown will do.”
“I don’t have anything like that,” she grumbled, then noticed the sleek black gown in her closet. “I stand corrected. How did this gorgeous outfit get in here?”
Adam simply smiled, looking very pleased with himself.
She put on the dress and admired herself in the mirror. “Well, along with all your other fine qualities, I can now add that you possess a stylish taste in fashion. Perhaps I should allow you to do all my shopping in the future.”
Adam replied at once. “I accept the new responsibility and have now ordered you a new wardrobe for Europe. The items will arrive tomorrow. I have sent an email from you to the lobby guard to have them sign for the boxes if you are not in. Be sure and say hello to the fellow when you leave tonight.”
“Did you buy shoes? Because mine—”
“Of course I bought you shoes,” he scolded. “And nicer underwear, but you haven’t time to change into it now, so put on your shoes, put me in the small black purse on the dresser, and let’s go.”

Amanda smiled and said hello to the lobby guard. He told her she looked hot and she thanked him. A driver stood out front and opened the door to a black limo.
“Is that for me?” she asked Adam, and while she couldn’t see his smiling face, since he was tucked into her purse, his voice in her earpiece assured her the limo was for her.
She smiled apologetically at the driver. “We’re only going two blocks.”
“Yes, ma’am,” he replied.
When the driver settled into his seat, she apologized again for the short drive.
“I don’t mind, ma’am. The gentleman has purchased me a ticket for the recital, so I expect to have a very fine night.”
Adam spoke in her earpiece, “Don’t worry, he’s not sitting next to you, but his son is in the scholarship group and will be performing. Unfortunately, the tickets sold out before he could get the money to buy one, and until I contacted him, he was going to miss his son’s first major recital.”
Amanda burst into tears. “You are the kindest man.”
The driver looked at her. “Ma’am?”
“Tell him you are talking on the phone,” Adam advised.
