Umm, one. THANK YOU AMANDA!! Once again, mere words cannot explain how much you seriously kick ass! (Also, this is my ode to the majestic wonder that is you. heehee)

Two. This story goes out to Laurie. When I was writing "Think of Laura," she wanted to read more of Zac at an older age. Well, here you go! An entire story dedicated to him.

Three. Thank you for reading my story and flooding my inbox with e-mail. (Especially LuCy and Tori. Thanks guys!) Writing isn't easy, but knowing you enjoy my stories makes it all worthwhile.

Four. Thanks to Bob Guza. Who? Bob Guza, head writer at "General Hospital." I started writing this story before I went home for winter break. Continuing it was difficult because I had no way of getting feedback on my work. I was without e-mail and internet access for a month. It was torture. But everyday I'd watch "General Hospital." Bob took the mess that damn Richard Cullitan left him and turned it all around. He inspired me to write more of my story, and add a few twists. (Even though you probably saw them coming a mile away because I'm a foreshadowing fool.) So, as I wrote and wrote, something happened. All of a sudden, the original title, and ironically it was "Something," didn't fit anymore. So I decided to change it. Easier said than done. I racked my brain. Nothing. Since "Think of Laura" was originally a song title, I decided to go that route. I went through all my tapes and CDs. Nothing. Not even my man Elton could pull me through. I became desperate. So I shuffled through the nine 33 records and the six 45s I have. Upon going through the 45s, I discovered one. The song was called "Lady of My Heart." Who sings it? Jack Wagner. While many of you probably know him as Dr. Peter Burns on "Melrose Place" and possibly from his little stints on "Santa Barbra" and "Sunset Beach" (does anyone even watch that show?), he will ALWAYS be Frisco Jones to me from none other than... "General Hospital." Sick? Quite possibly I am. But remember, my exposure to this soap dates back to conception. GH fans out there may recognize this song. Frisco sang it to Felicia when they got married, the first time. Oh, and by the way, I'm making my plea now. FRISCO, PLEASE COME BACK! FELICIA IS LOST WITHOUT YOU! Anyway, the bonus prize to this whole situation was that the words to the song fit the relationship. (They're below in case you're interested, or looking for a Jack Wagner fix.)

"Lady of My Heart"
by David Foster, Jay Graydon, Glen Ballard (1984)
Performed by Jack Wagner

There's a quiet time
When everyone goes home
And I'm left standing here
On the stage alone

When shadows paint the scene
Where spotlights used to fall
And now it's like a dream
Did it happen after all

Then I see you there
In silent silhouette
The glow of your cigarette
Is like a shooting star

Lady of my heart
Tell me who you are
You've waited in the dark
And I need you with me
Lady please reveal
If what you are is real
Can I touch, can I feel
Just an image of you

I've listened to the cheers
I guess I've heard my share
But I was never sure
Was it you out there

Now I understand
You've always been the one
Who stood out from the crowd
You're my inspiration

So take me by the hand
Before the moment's gone
I'll dance you into the dark
And dream you into my life

Lady of my heart
Tell me who you are
You've waited in the dark
And I need you with me tonight
Lady please reveal
If what you are is real, yeah
Can I touch what I feel
Are you just a fantasy

You're the lady of my heart
I know you are

"Lady of My Heart"
