An Amazing Idea

Liam's hands trembled as he stared at the door to his office, waiting for it to be opened. Once his secretary told him that Amelie wished to see him, he canceled all his plans immediately but the more he waited for her to come, the more his anxiety took over. 

'She is going to scold me, I'm sure of it,' he tried to join his hands together but the uncontrollable trembling prevented him from succeeding. 'I know her friends finally visited her last night so she is definitely going to say something about that––'

He couldn't even finish that thought when the doors swung open and Amelie marched in, wearing a stern and even somewhat menacing expression on her otherwise beautiful face. 

"Lily!" Liam jumped from his seat and rushed to greet her, nearly stumbling over his own feet but his wife raised her hand in front of her which made him stop at once. It was scary.
