Why Did Amelia Go To Wilmaton?
Amelia Scott was the proud owner of an antique shop. Among her treasures was half of Queen Elizabeth I’s love locket, which had been given to James by his beloved Wilma, as I mentioned earlier. It had always been Amelia’s mother’s dream to find the other half of that locket. She had searched high and low but never managed to find it. After her mother passed away, Amelia was determined to fulfill her mother’s wish and find the other half of the locket. Why? Well, Amelia believed that the locket would bring her love and fortune, maybe? With that money, she planned to expand her antique shop to places like Paris or Amsterdam. She was sure that finding the missing half of the locket would make a buzz in the antique world and make her famous. After much research, Amelia discovered that a man named Jacob Jameson had moved to Boston and became a renowned furniture carpenter. Later, he founded a town called Wilmaton, named after his lost love, Wilma. This made Amelia suspect that Jacob Jameson might actually be James, the carpenter who named the town Wilmaton after his love, Wilma. She thought there was a good chance that the other half of the locket might be there. With this in mind, Amelia set off for Wilmaton in search of the missing half of the locket.
Why Did Amelia Break Into The Mayor’s Office?
Wilmaton was a peaceful and picturesque American small town, quite a change from bustling London. Amelia found the townspeople incredibly friendly; everyone seemed to know each other, and they were kind, helpful, and straightforward. The town was filled with beautiful old houses, adding to its charm. When Amelia’s car broke down upon entering Wilmaton, a man named Marcus came to her rescue. As it turned out, Marcus was not just any helpful local; he was the town’s sheriff. Amelia stayed at a lodge owned by Marcus’s sister, Francine, who introduced her to other townspeople. Amelia was fascinated by the antiques and jewelry owned by the locals, and she enthusiastically shared her admiration for their collections. As she spent time in Wilmaton, she also got to know Marcus better. Marcus was a selfless man who had left his life in Boston to take care of his sister after her husband passed away. He was always ready to make sacrifices for his loved ones, a quality that Amelia admired.
Amelia told Marcus about her quest to visit the town hall’s archives. She wanted to find something from the year 1824, when James had come to Wilmaton. When she arrived at the mayor’s office, she met Poppy, the mayor’s girlfriend, who was an online antique dealer herself. Poppy seemed curious about Amelia’s interest in the town’s history but didn’t say much, focusing instead on the upcoming 200-year anniversary celebration ball. Unfortunately for Amelia, the mayor informed her that the archives were closed due to budget cuts and poor management; they weren’t even digitized. Despite this setback, Amelia was determined to find the missing locket piece. That night, Amelia hatched a daring plan. She dressed in dark, shady clothing to disguise herself as a burglar and sneaked into the town hall to search the archives for the locket. However, Marcus, being the vigilant sheriff, received a notification about an intruder at the town hall. He caught Amelia red-handed.
How Did Enid Help Them?
After the burglary incident, Marcus grew increasingly curious about what Amelia was so desperate to find. At first, Amelia was hesitant to reveal her quest, but as they spent more time together, she opened up to Marcus about her search for the missing locket piece. Marcus, always ready to help, offered his assistance. Francine shared with Amelia that Enid, an elderly woman, was the last descendant of the town’s founder, Jacob Jameson. Could Enid be holding the missing locket piece? When Amelia visited Enid, she discovered a sampler in her possession. The sampler had a poem that hinted at the locket’s whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Amelia found a picture in Jacob Jameson’s old wooden shop that had been damaged by smoke. After cleaning it up, she recognized the woman in the picture as Wilma. It turned out she had come to Wilmaton when she married James and had changed her name to avoid her family. Finding the locket would be a big deal, and Marcus was fully aware of its significance. However, Amelia and Marcus soon discovered that the sampler had gone missing. They learned that Poppy, the online antique dealer, had stolen it. Poppy believed that the poem on the sampler held the key to a fortune but couldn’t crack its code. Amelia and Marcus retrieved the sampler from Poppy. On the night of the town’s ball, they decoded the poem and learned about a nursery in the town hall’s attic. There, they found a hidden box. Inside, among important papers by James that proved he was indeed Jacob Jameson, they found what they had been searching for—the missing half of the locket. Finally, after all their efforts and adventures, Amelia had found the lost half of the locket.
Throughout this adventure of finding the locket, Marcus and Amelia grew closer. They spent time together and realized they had fallen in love. Even though Amelia had dreamed of opening her antique shop in places like Paris, she decided she wanted to open it right there in Wilmaton, the town where she found not only the lost locket but also the love of her life. Amelia was ready to start the next chapter of her life. She had come to believe that the legend was true after all—the locket truly brings true love.
