James and Eliza (nee Peterson)
Amanda met James, who is her senior, while pursuing her fortune in the city. Her dance career was going great and all those extra lessons from James had her grow quite fond him (or was it his bank account?). As it was, after the death of her mother Maggie, Eliza returned to New Bay and used the inheritance to renovate the family home to her taste. Of course, after having exhausted all her funds, there was no other way she could survive on her meager pay, so when James proposed marriage...she of course accepted. James wasn't getting any younger, and all he wanted was a family, and he knew Eliza couldn't refuse that one thing. Not if she wanted the life of luxury once his number is called. And so he became the proud father to Kieran, his son, whom he doted on. And just like she did with Henry, Eliza carried on pursuing those simoleans.
