“Well, you’re all dressed up -- going somewhere special tonight?” he teased playfully, not intending on hurting her. “You look nice, Angel.”

angelica doesnt call the dog "Smart Thomas", because she has learned from her mother to respect everyone. so she calls him "Smartie." she occasionally puts fake glasses and bow tie on him to take pictures.
Awkward moment when her mother is the one who named Smart Thomas.
❝ angelica ! ❞ it was nearly time to leave to drop them off at their father’s , and she had not seen her eldest daughter for nearly an hour . elizabeth was feeling a mix between annoyance and sympathy for her children : it got out that while they spent the week with alexander , their mother had a date with a new guy . she knows the subject is not easy for any of the children , but she couldn’t keep pretending she wasn’t lonely and that alexander’s string of hookups wasn’t breaking her heart . without the courtesy of knocking , elizabeth entered the room . ❝ why aren’t you ready yet ? your father was expecting us to leave almost twenty minutes ago , and the little ones are getting grumpy waiting in the den . please , angie . can we not have this fight today ? ❞

This is how Philip’s day had gone.
Morning tutorials, classes, after-school activities, work, home.
Henry talked at him about something he’d done wrong while he stared forward until Henry stopped talking.
Then his father called. Which was always an ordeal. Because he was definitely supposed to get over what had happened and show all the younger kids how to act. Not that he had been told that this was what he was meant to do, because why would their family ever just sit down and talk about anything major, but he always had the feeling that was what he was supposed to do.
Instead, he went to his room and sat in front of his homework with one earbud in playing music he wasn’t even listening to. He tapped his pencil on the desk but didn’t actually write with it.
Sometimes after the call was over, someone knocked on his door.
“Go away,” he said in a sarcastically cheerful tone.
*゚‘゚・ with ANGELICA [ @pianogiftcd ] from ✘ *゚‘゚・
she gives the WIDEST of smiles she can possibly muster in return before growing SERIOUS once more.
‘do you have a girlfriend?’
’ that’s all right, i’m used to it. ’
NIGHTS are spent in one another’s company, there has been an inordinacy INFLUX of thunderstorms. The pair of them have found that sleep evades them on nights like THESE – Alexander reminded of his youth, and her the loss of her dearest brother. Tries to do what he can for her, the pair of them lightly playing some melancholic tune upon piano until their attention turns to a game of chess. The death of her brother hasn’t been easy – she practically a shut in, and her father willing to do just about ANYTHING to coax a smile from her lips. THIS is how they heal, nights spent in one another’s company as she learns a little bit more about her father.
A time in which he can let down his guard, and spend time with the daughter who now houses all of her brother’s goodness. Wishes desperately that he could shoulder some of her pain, and anguish. Then again what good would he do to her dead? So, he dedicates these nights that are particularly hard on the two of them to grow closer to her, and LET her know that she is not alone. Lights flicker in the ladies parlor ( seeing as it’s the warmest, and has the BIGGEST fireplace ) as they sit opposite one another. Her as EQUALLY SKILLED to her father as they play their THIRD game of chess. Hot milk already sitting next to the both of them as he GENTLY teases his eldest daughter of her defeat, and for a moment he sees a SMILE play upon her lips. The offering of her next words makes him LAUGH ( a sound that fills the room as warmness lays laden in tonality ). The sound of thunder CRACKS like a whip as he then goes to lean towards daughter,
❛❛ Would you have me feel bad for you ? … I fear it cannot be so. ❜❜ A chuckle still escaping as he shakes head, ❛❛ For you have won the LAST three nights in a row, would you deny your father a SIMPLE pleasure ? Though I confess there is nothing I like better than passing a night in this manner. A welcoming thought indeed that my daughter is MORE than my match when it comes to wit. ❜❜ Alexander going to reach for milk as he raises glass, ❛❛ A toast to my brilliant, and EQUALLY talented daughter. ❜❜ For a moment one would forget the SADNESS that lays in the heart of these two. The two of them finding COMFORT in the company of one another.

“Okay, I got it now, watch me. There’s your older brother Philip, he’s in college now, and then you, and then it goes AJ, then -- okay, I get confused, here, but I’m pretty sure it’s James then John, but I blame your parents on naming them so similar. Then, after them, it’s William, then little Eliza, and your Ma’s pregnant with another on the way. I got it, right?”
