<div style="text-align: justify;">Joseph smiled kindly to Alexis. "No need to apologize, Miss. I should have kept my mouth shut. Forgive this old man", he murmured gently, while squeezing the young woman's hand back.<br/><br/>Joseph sighed in relief as Pamela led Alexis and Travis upstairs. He had really allowed his emotions to get the best of him, and wasn't really satisfied with that.<br/><br/>Pamela smiled softly when Alexis said she was sure she was doing wonderful in the school. She really was, and really loved her job in there. She would probably have done it for free. "Thanks, I think I'm doing pretty well. The children are just amazing", she replied, quietly.<br/><br/>When Travis said he might visit her class, Pamela showed a happier smile. "That would be really great. I'm sure the girls would be thrilled", she replied. "We should talk about that later, before we part ways", Pamela completed. She knew the girls she taught probably had never heard of Travis, but she was sure they would love to meet him and ask him questions anyway. Maybe, she thought to herself, she could even invite them both and have a sort of informal career day, with both her cousin and her boyfriend telling the children about their lives and what it took for someone to have their professions. They could talk about all of that later, though. Right now, all of them needed to relax and rest a little. Maybe they should discuss the matter after the funeral, when they would all need something to occupy their minds.<br/><br/>When Alexis said she had done a cover shoot for Vogue, Pam's eyes widened. "Wow, you're doing really well out there!", she commented, really happy for her cousin. "I would love to se the issue, will you give me a heads up when it's out?", she requested, before nodding to Alexis's comment on coming home more often. "You know you are always welcome here, or to my home, dear", she offered gently.<br/><br/>As Travis offer to hold the puppy, Pamela nodded and handed the dog over. As soon as the little animal found himself in the man's arms, he snuggled up and yawned, comfortable.<br/><br/>Pamela shook her head and smiled. "He seems really comfortable, I don't think he'll want to leave your arms", she commented, making sure the bed was in order and that everything was tidy in the room.<br/><br/>"Please, call for me if you see that you need anything you don't have, okay?", Pam offered, stepping back out of the room after checking if there was something inside the closet or dresser. There are sheets and towels inside the closet, everything is clean, Aunt Bess probably put them up before we got here", she commented. <br/><br/>After speaking about the practical matters, Pamela finally sighed, feeling a bit sad. "I think I'll take a nap myself", she said after a while. "Would you like to hold on to him a little longer, or would you like me to take him?", she asked Travis, indicating the now sleeping puppy.</div>
