Amelia unwinded the blue lace scarf from around her neck as she hung it up on her brother's porch, heading towards the living room, having the way memorised by how many times she had visited, whether it was to see her brother Isaac or Roy. She made herself comfortable on the white sofa as Isaac brewed some coffee, asking her how many sugar cubes she liked with it. "Is Roy not home?" she asked curiously, looking around the room as her brother shook his head, glancing at her momentarily. "No. He's actually in Avonlea, went to go buy some stuff they don't sell here. Said he might give you a visit later on."

Amelia smiled contently, as she hadn't seen Roy in a couple of weeks. She took a sip of the hot drink in her hands, sighing as she pressed her lips together. "So...how are you doing?" Amelia rolled her eyes at her brother's question, raising an eyebrow. "You're not my therapist, so shove off." Isaac chuckled, leaning back as he pursed his lips.

"Anne told me about the fight between you two and Diana...you haven't spoken ever since?" Amelia staid silent for a few seconds, debating what to say, before sighing tiredly, rubbing her weary eyes. "What, are you on her side now?" Isaac shook his head, putting his cup down before rubbing his hands together. "I'm not on anybody's side. I just want to talk about some things you said-" Amelia stood up, the chair's legs scrapping against the dark wood floor, rearranging the napkins, dusting her dress off. "I don't need a lecture right now, Isaac." she quickly walked away, immediately followed by her brother who grabbed her wrist, trying to stop her from leaving.

Amelia shook his hand off, anger bubbling up inside her again as she avoided his gaze. "Why do you push everyone away, Amelia? You're being irrational, and as soon as anyone tries to help you or listen to you, you get angry and walk away." he paused, breathing heavily as he stared at his sister's sad and distant look, before adding "Talk to me, Covey."

Amelia licked her lips, her eyes darting around as she realised her brother was right. She pushed everyone away, even herself. She realised that not once did she have a moment to herself to gather her thoughts and what she wanted to do with her future, how she wanted to proceed. "You're right." she muttered, and Isaac's eyebrows shooted up in surprise. "I'm right? Can you repeat that once more?" Amelia rolled her eyes, a playful smile sitting on her face as she slightly pushed her brother. "Idiot." he shrugged, a smirk on display.

"I need a quiet moment to gather my thoughts. I realise that I haven't had one in a while and it'd do be some good." her brother nodded, smiling at the fact his sister was taking care of herself mentally. "Why don't you take father's boat into the Lake of Shining Waters?" Amelia tilted her head, considering his proposal. "That's actually not a bad idea."  Isaac wrapped his arms around her, resting his head on top of her head. She slowly separated himself, looking up with a smile. "So...your engagement?"
