~~**~~**~~

Amanda sat quietly in Bridget car saying nothing to her while her friend drove. She rested her head on the hand which she placed on the edge of rolled down window, enjoying the fresh breeze, letting her thought travel through the wind.

Bridget took a glance at her friend but refrained from saying a word; she just did her best to focus on driving. She understood that the reporters were like a noose on Amanda's neck and the thin ice she stood barefooted on was melting up due to the imminent ancient sun.

Bridget wished she could be her Best friend's knight in a shining armor, to save her from this grueling episode but, she realized her limits and all she could do was to pray for her friend and sister.

Was Bridget over thinking Amanda's silence? Amanda on the other hand, never took notice of Bridget through out the drive. She just rambled back in time to the awkwardness she felt the previous day. After her meeting with Mr. Wright senior-as she chose to now call him, she went back to her office but her Boss was already on seat. She quietly slipped into her cubicle and they sat in silence minding their business.

Amanda had a lot of thought in her head, she thought about bringing up the kiss but she didn't want to give him an impression that she liked him and wanted so desperately to kiss him again so, she reciprocated the silence. She stole glances of him flipping pages on the book he held, "He acts so focused on that book but, was he? Was the book a distraction? Was he also feeling the awkwardness too? Did he feel sorry about the kiss? Does he have a lot of questions like I do? Does he like me too?" Amanda had thought over the questions building up in her brain and not once did she take her eyes off him.

"Amanda! Amanda!!" Bridget called, bringing her friend back to reality.

"Yes, yes" she replied, looking round the environment as one who was lost.

"Are you alright?" Bridget asked with concern lacing her tone

"Yeah, I am. Why?"

"I thought I lost you there." Bridget gave a simple smile at her friend.

Amanda laughed too before replying "Seriously, I'm fine. Where are we?"

"Oh, we are here."

"Here! where?" Amanda asked confused.

"We are at Elena's boutique." Bridget replied, turning her gazes to the building on the left side.

"Wow!" Amanda exclaimed, scanning the boutique n awe as she stepped out of the vehicle "This place is Beautiful."

"Wait till you see the inside." Bridget told her and then, led the way inside the boutique.

A young man on white and blue uniform who stood at the entrance, gestured politely the moment he saw Amanda and Bridget approaching. Then, he showed them through the entrance.

"This is exquisite." Amanda's eyes beheld the interior splendor, admiring latest design on each mannequin mounted next to a large glass window, feeding he desires of every window shopper. "You are right Brid, this indeed is a fashion Palace. "
