stairs and outside to his car. 
    “Where are we going?” she asked.
    “It’s a surprise,” he said, grinning.
    They rode in silence, with her fumbling with the strap of her purse, her glance darting every once in a while past the window to try and see where they were going. More than that, she wondered why he had come to see her and what he was planning on doing now.
    One of her unspoken questions was answered when the car finally came to a stop in front of the city orchidarium. She still didn’t know what they were doing there, though, and so she kept on a curious, bewildered expression as she followed Collin out of the car.
    At the entrance, he stopped to talk to the guard and seconds later, the gate was opened.
    “This orchidarium actually belonged to my mother,” Collin explained as he stretched out his hand to her once more. “She donated it to the city but my family is welcome to visit it anytime.”
    “Oh,” was all she managed to say. 
    She followed him through rows of orchids, some making her smile with their simple beauty and others making her gasp in wonder. Strangely, although she had been living in the city for three years now, she had never visited the orchidarium and she regretted that now, since the place seemed to be a fragment of paradise right in the heart of the city.
    He led her past a fountain and into a dimly lit greenhouse, at the entrance of which she stopped, letting go of Collin’s hand so she could clasp her hand to her chest as she stared at the most magnificent flowers she had seen in awe.
    Some of the flowers were large enough to fit in her palm while others seemed very small. Some flowers, too, had only three petals while others had petals that were thin like blades of grass. There were striped and dotted flowers, as well, along with the first green flowers she had ever seen, all of which equally captivated her.
    “They are beautiful, aren’t they?” Collin asked as he, too, looked around.
    Amy nodded, totally in agreement. She was still confused, though. “Why did you bring me here?”
    “Well, for one, I thought you’d like it,” Collin answered. “And because I was suddenly reminded of this place after all that’s happened.”
    She wanted to ask him why but decided to let him explain in his own way.
    “You see, these orchids…” He went to stroke one of the flowers. “They have a secret. They were actually made in a laboratory.”
    Amy’s eyes grew wide. “What?”
    “They weren’t grown naturally like the rest of the orchids in this orchidarium,” Collin went on. “Because you see, they are very rare.”
    “You mean, they’re like clones?” she asked.
    “In a way,” he answered. “My Mom threw a fit when she first found out. You see, my Dad bought these for her as presents. But she got over it. She still fell in love with them, after all.”
    She looked at him, beginning to understand why he had brought her there. “So you think these orchids are like me?”
    “Except you’re more beautiful,” he said, turning to face her. “From the moment I saw you, I was just fascinated and I had such a wonderful time. True, I mistook you for Amanda, my fiancée whom I’ve never personally seen before but who I was arranged to marry, since I was supposed to meet her for the first time that night, but the fact remains that I had a wonderful time with you.”
    “It was never supposed to happen, though,” Amy said. “It was you and Amanda who were supposed to have that time together.”
    “Do you think I would have had the same wonderful time with her?” Collin asked, stepping closer to her. 
    She didn’t answer.
    “It took me all of two minutes to realize that I didn’t want to be married to her,” Collin said. “Especially not after I met you.”
    “But you’re engaged.”
    “Not anymore,” he said. “The reason it took me this late to come for you was because I had to go talk to her father. We were able to come to some sort of agreement so the
