She can practically see his face straining as he talks to her, and she has to hold back a giggle. Amelie isn't Violet, no matter how many traits they may or may not share, and she's never really understood this whole feud thing the way Aoife does. She likes Daniel a lot, she knows Daniel likes his brother, and therefore she summises he can't be all that bad. Still, he looks like he almost doesn't want to touch her.
She smiles brightly and shakes his hand anyway. "Amelie," she says, like he doesn't already know. "And that was your father, I presume. Lovely house."
She knows it sounds stupid and formal but she's been raised at these kind of events, and the words come almost as if Violet is pulling the puppet strings behind her mouth.
