Picking-up where the film leaves off, AoA CONTINUED brings the family into a multigenerational household under construction. William reassures his wife that her jealousy of Adaline is unreasonable. Adaline was William's first love, now she's involve...
Adaline clenches her jaw to stifle the yawn that wants to go. She leans her head against Ellis's shoulder. He pats her thigh to encourage her to hold on just a little while longer.
He is about to receive a plaque from the Museum of Underwater Archaeology for work that his grant supports – the excavation of a historic ship breaking yard.
He returns his attention to the speaker. "The Candace was a whaling ship that sailed into San Francisco in the 1850s. It was dismantled and used for parts in foundries and for other ships. Her story tells us about the whaling industry and the first development of commercial enterprise in the city. It also gives us information about the Chinese workforce. Fisherman who were excluded from others were employed on Spear Street...."
Adaline puts a hand on her rounded belly and whispers, "Maybe we should name her Candace?"
"...or we could call him, Spear," Ellis rejoins, teasing. Adaline swats his arm.
That night as they are getting ready for bed, Adaline plays a game she's become enamored with. "I've gained another pound and my waist has grown by three percent today." She records this information in her pregnancy diary. "I've found another grey hair and look, Ellis! I'm starting to get crow's feet!" she laughs in delight.
There can't be another woman on the planet who is as happy as Adaline about showing her age.
