Amber and Amethyst
Amber had no real reason to feel depressed

She'd had a fantastic day, even if Kyle hadn't kissed her. But Kyle had made it clear that he didn't intend to become involved.

He was certainly a man of contradiction--an ex-university professor who had chosen to become a bus driver, and while he made a beeline for Amber, he was scornful of her youth and life-style.

Amber was determined that Kyle should take her seriously--even though she soon realized that there was more than just a difference of age and opinion between them.

Hero: Kyle Maki
