Earth Angel

Since the incident, Boston had not been able to stop thinking about Amanda. Day in and day out, he reminisced of her beauty. Her eloquent features recurred again and again in his memory. The images were compelling; they enraptured his soul, consuming his every thought. He had never felt so drawn to a woman, and was astonished by this sudden infatuation. He truly could only compare her to an angel. It was as if even beneath his superficial attraction to her, he could sense an even deeper beauty in her soul. Indeed, as he reached further into the past, he recalled other nights when she had been manager, particularly the first. It had been a few weeks ago. He had never given Amanda any thought other than judging her to be a very amenable young woman. While the night was young, he had asked another coworker who was to manage that evening. To his surprise, the reply was indeed Amanda. As he soon realized, this was actually a pleasant surprise—in fact, a surprisingly pleasant surprise; by some strange phenomenon, upon hearing these words he had experienced a sudden peace, a serenity that consumed his being, put him in a magnificent state of tranquility. He couldn't explain it. He immediately became aware of the fact that he had taken a liking to Amanda. He had spoken to her once and knew virtually nothing about her, yet he somehow held her in such high esteem. He felt the stress induced by other managers—and the job in general—melt away. It was inexplicable. This occurrence utterly fascinated him, but not with ambiguity; rather, with uncanny lucidity. Through that night's duration, he continued work with a new persona. He could almost feel a warmth in his innards. As he slaved away at this miserable job, he was unfazed by the unpleasantness of his duties: even the mere thought of Miss Amanda Hunsaker was enough to soothe him.

For the next several days, Boston's every thought was enveloped by this divine woman. He absolutely could not stop thinking about her. He was a very analytic person, at least when it came to the opposite sex and sociology, particularly romantic relationships. He had observed and sized up countless women, and none, not a single one, had come within miles of this one. He hardly knew her, yet he felt this way. How would he feel if they became more acquainted? She would be that much more incredible! He was absolutely affirmed of his inclination to pursue her, and so he did.
