Chapter 331

• Poppy showers Amelia in praise for her kindness and continues to show her support, even though I know that she and I are on the same page about this whole situation. Soon the conversation turns away from Amelia's dad and onto Poppy 's baby, at which time I excuse myself to go and have a shower.
• "Poppy 's gone!" I hear Amelia call out from the bedroom through the slightly ajar bathroom door as I climb out of the shower and wrap the towel around my waist.
• "Did she help at all?" I ask as I pull open the door and walk back into the bedroom as Amelia sits cross legged on the bed, her back impeccably straight.
