Amelia Bones

Amelia's leg tapped against the table as she asked, "What are your thoughts on love?" Her hands were clasped together on her lap, but her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

We could save a lot of time by keeping our relationship minimal." With a proactive glint in her eye, she added, "What do you say?
