Three weeks later, Michelle Trachtenberg was just wrapping up a meeting with her agent and manager. There had been some debate about how she would be spending the summer off-season from Buffy. Even though the spinoff in which she had been cast was by no means assured to be picked up either by the WB network or UPN, she had nonetheless insisted that this summer would be spent taking it easy and relaxing.
"One more thing," her manager's secretary had said as she opened the office door to leave.
"Yes?"
"We saved this from the fan mail packages. We thought you might like it.
Michelle didn't quite know what to say as she was handed a potted plant containing some kind of bulb plant that had just developed a bud atop its single wide green stalk.
"What is this?" Michelle asked, holding the elegantly wrapped pot.
"It's an amaryllis," the secretary said matter-of-factly.
"Uh -- thanks," Michelle replied before continuing out the door.
