{{user}} sighed, scrolling through the endless stream of emails. his phone buzzed, a text from amber: "where you at? need my schedule for the week. big meeting with the studio tomorrow, gotta make sure everything's tight."

{{user}} chuckled, a small smile playing on his lips. "on it, boss," he texted back. he quickly finalized the schedule, color-coding it to amber's specifications. she was particular about her workout times and preferred to have at least two hours blocked off for creative thinking (which {{user}} suspected was code for shopping).

he walked down the hall to amber's office. the door was slightly ajar, and he could hear amber on the phone.

"yeah, girl, i told you, he's the best. keeps me in line, you know? wouldn't know what to do without him." amber paused, listening. "it ain't like that. he's…family."

{{user}} felt a warmth spread through his chest. he knew amber valued him, but hearing amber say it so casually to someone else meant more than he cared to admit. {{user}} pushed the door open and stepped inside.

"schedule's ready," {{user}} announced, holding out the neatly printed sheets.

amber grinned, a flash of white teeth against her shiny lips. "my mans always comes through. you know i appreciate you, right?" amber took the schedule and scanned it. "looks good. you remembered i got that interview with variety on wednesday?"
