If nothing major had happened, the elders of the Moreland family would not have all shown up.
Amelia Clarke was almost kidnapped, which definitely counted as a major event in the Moreland family.
Owen Moreland parked the car outside the villa and, holding Amelia's hand, entered through the main gate as Aunt Chester opened the door for them.
Conversations in the living room could faintly be heard through the open door.
After changing shoes in the foyer, Amelia, sporting a baby bump, found it inconvenient to bend over. Owen squatted his tall frame down to help her pull down the zippers on her padded leather boots. He could easily hold her calf with one hand, his thumb and index finger holding the upper edge of the boot, while his other hand pinched the metal zipper and gave it a slight tug.
Amelia looked down at the man's back and couldn't help but reach out to touch his meticulously groomed hair.
Due to the hairspray, it felt stiff, nicely shaped.
