Warm weather was decidedly not Amelia’s favorite.
Already, the woman wore so many layers and long pieces of clothes. Dresses and coats down to her ankles and sleeves ending right at her wrist, collars well up her neck. Even the mildest weather caused her to sweat with all she wore.
But this did not stop her from going about her day with a smile on her face. It was nearly impossible to frown in the presence of God, outside St. Hilda’s church.
Truly, this was Amelia’s happy place.
Today she was content to sit outside the church on benches nearby (never mind the fact that it was too warm to do anything else). Long brown hair blew gently in the occasional breeze, a glittering gold necklace the only jewelry Amelia wore flashing in the sun. Bright blue eyes floated around from person to person as they walked past, finding their way upwards towards the clouds when no one was around. If moments between company drew long, Amelia's eyes might have fluttered closed, but who could say for certain except God?
