Alexis smiled, happy that Joseph did remember her. She knew he was getting up there in years, so she wasn't sure how well his memory was working. Although, she supposed, she might be a little unforgettable. Especially the fights she and her parents would have with her grandmother about her dying her hair. To think how angry she used to be at Grandma Maude about it. It seemed so stupid now, Alexis thought sadly. At least Joseph had never been as judgmental about that.<br/><br/>"Thank you."<br/><br/>She told him and walked inside. Travis followed his girlfriend in, carrying their two bags with him.<br/><br/>"Hello, Joseph."<br/><br/>Travis replied pleasantly to the butler and shook his hand, after he set their bags down. Travis squeezed Alexis' shoulder when Joseph offered his sympathy.<br/><br/>"Thank you, Joseph. I'm going to miss her."<br/><br/>Despite all her arguments with Grandma Maude, Alexis had loved her. She had respected how stubborn and headstrong her grandmother was. While she had not agreed with her, she had respected that her grandmother always held true to what she believed in. Even if it was something as silly in hindsight as a hair style.<br/><br/>Alexis nodded her head and made a face when Joseph said Peter was here. She liked cousin Pam but hated her husband. He was a giant asshole and would love nothing more then to punch him in his big fat nose. Travis caught the look on her face and muttered to her.<br/><br/>"Be nice."<br/><br/>When he saw Pam coming out the kitchen to greet them. There was no need to start a fight, especially not a time like this. Pam was nice but she'd probably defend that giant jerk.<br/><br/>"I'll try."<br/><br/>Alexis muttered back, it would be hard, though. Alexis had a hard time being nice to people she didn't like. Especially people like Pete, who didn't deserve that politeness. Although seeing the adorable puppy helped a little. Alexis squeezed her older cousin's hand.<br/><br/>"You're welcome."<br/><br/>She replied and Travis nodded his head to Pam.<br/><br/>"Yes, it's nice to see you again. Although I wish it was under different circumstances."<br/><br/>It made him sad to think that people only got together at weddings or funerals usually. He nodded his head again when she asked about their trip.<br/><br/>"Yes, it was a pretty quiet drive."<br/><br/>Both with traffic and the fact that Alexis hadn't want to talk very much.  The couple agreed to follow Pam up their room. Travis grabbed the bags off the floor and let the ladies lead the way up the stairs.<br/><br/>"How have you been, Pam?"<br/><br/>Alexis asked, realizing she hadn't seen her cousin in a long time. Was it last Christmas or the one before? She wasn't sure. She was so busy with her and Travis' careers, it felt like holidays ran together.
