“Um, Amanda? Are you… nervous, about something?” asked Marc, anxiously.

“No. What makes you say that?”

“Well, you showed up at my apartment with no notice, emptied my refrigerator of its contents, then ordered…” He shuddered, “ fast food. Seriously, what if the grease vapor gets stuck in the walls? Think of the property values.”

“Burger?” offered Amanda.

“Er, no thanks. Really, no.”

Amanda and Hilda? Ok, I never even considered this pairing! But it has potential...and this series of drabbles makes a good case for it. And why not? They've got a lot in common. They're both strong-willed, bitchy, loyal to those they love and stylish. Ok, they have vastly different styles, but that just makes for better chemistry, right?

What I especially like about these drabbles is the fact that Hilda's son Justin and Amanda's BFF Marc both get to add their two cents to the budding relationship--which helps flesh it out. If the damn story had just lasted a little longer I'd have been sold on the pairing...
