<div style="text-align: justify;">Pamela nodded when Travis told her whenever was fine. She planned on giving everyone time to finish their tea, before they moved to the living room, where the piano was. She planned on singing it first, so Travis could pick up on the beat before he tried himself. <br/><br/>Pam smiled when Travis thanked her for considering him family. "Well, you are", she replied in her usual kindly intonation. "You have been around for quite a while, and you're really good for Alexis, that's as far as I'd expect to consider you part of our family", she explained.<br/><br/>Her moment of peace ended as soon as her husband walked in, though, and Pamela was relieved to have something to do. Making some tea would give her some time to calm down and collect herself. She knew Peter was in a bad mood - not that he was usually in a good one -, and really wanted him to pay the least possible attention to her.<br/><br/>Peter, in hearing what Travis had to say, shook his head. "Of course she did", he muttered, to himself but audibly.<br/><br/>"You don't have to if you don't want to do it. I wouldn't either", Peter completed, now in a normal intonation, towards Travis.<br/><br/>Pamela came back with the tea and handed it to Peter, before looking at Travis and opening her mouth to speak. She gave up a second later, though, and fell silent, even though her expression made clear that she didn't agree with her husband's words.</div>
