Amelia Clarke squeezed the toothpaste and heard the man's deep voice fading away; he must have gone downstairs.
After brushing her teeth, she put on a coat and went downstairs, where Owen Moreland was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.
Seeing Amelia come down, he stood up, walked over, took her hand, and together they went to the dining room.
Dorothy Brown had already set the breakfast table.
At the table, Amelia looked at the elegant and distinguished man opposite her and thought about what he had said upstairs about having "serious matters" to attend to soon, which probably meant getting the marriage certificate.
With the marriage certificate, they would officially be husband and wife.
Amelia felt a bit excited, bit into an egg, and asked Owen vaguely, "Are we going to the civil affairs bureau later? How about I just wear this coat?"
