“I’m surprised you came.” Her tone wasn’t unkind or superficial, but one of genuine surprise. Angelina was, of course, happy to see her eldest there, for personal and professional reasons, but it definitely caught her a bit off-guard. She looked her up and down, deciding against making any comment about her outfit- even compliments could sound condescending when it came to Angelina with her children, “But I’m glad you came, Ali. You know I always want you around.” Though, the mayor was not always the best at making things like that clear to her family, not when criticism was often her first reaction and the pressure she put on second nature.
