amusement park you always wanted to visit.”
Amelia had no desire to go, but before she could object, Silas was already
packing a bag, even picking out her clothes.
At the amusement park, he was attentive and doting. He offered her water
before she even felt thirsty. He bought her every stuffed animal that caught her
eye. They rode the carousel, the bumper cars, the Ferris wheel. Silas didn’t care
how childish the rides seemed; if she enjoyed them, so did he.
He held her hand tightly, refusing to let go even when she tried to pull away.
He even bought a balloon and tied it to her bag.“Amy,” he said with a smile, ‘now
