"It's okay, Joseph."<br/><br/>Alexis replied with a kind smile. She had seen in his eyes that he recognized her but had struggled to remember her name. After Grandpa died, she came around less and less. Her parents had tried to make Grandma understand there were a lot worse things in the world Alexis could do besides dye her hair black and dress in dark clothes, but Maude wouldn't hear of that. It was hard to be around someone, even if you loved them, if they constantly judged you. She nodded her head, smiling at the memory.<br/><br/>"Yes, I did. She wouldn't always fall for it, though."<br/><br/>Alexis still enjoyed chocolate. Although now she didn't have to ask permission to have it. However, she tried to have it in moderation. Being a model meant she had to keep a certain weight.<br/><br/>Travis smiled at both Joseph and the memory he and Alexis shared. He reached out and shook the butler's hand.<br/><br/>"I'm okay, given the circumstances."<br/><br/>Alexis and Travis went to find Aunt Bess, who wasn't hard to find. Both replied she was welcome for coming. Travis nodded his head to Alexis' aunt.<br/><br/>"I am too."<br/><br/>He and Alexis spent far more time in the United States then they did in England. His band was based in LA and California and New York had more modeling opportunities for Alexis, then Europe did. How ironic was it that they had actually decided to visit her family after they had recovered from the awards show in London. The best laid plans...Alexis replied.<br/><br/>"Yeah, we are. We had just settled in our hotel room when my dad called."<br/><br/>Johnny and his wife, Karen, would obviously be attending the funeral. They lived close to the old house and didn't need a place to stay to attend it. They had just spent the last few years spending holidays in America to be with their only child.<br/><br/>Both Alexis and Travis agreed that resting sounded like a good plan. Before they could head upstairs, more relatives arrived. Alexis was surprised to see Matt. She honestly couldn't remember the last time she had saw him. She said hello to Emily. She wasn't shocked that Pam was here, but frowned seeing her husband.<br/><br/>"Great...The douche bag came."<br/><br/>Alexis muttered to Travis. He knew how much his girlfriend hated her cousin's sailor husband. Actually he didn't like Peter either. He didn't care for the way the man treated his wife. His own parents had taught him to treat women much better than that. He squeezed Alexis' shoulder.<br/><br/>"I see...Try to ignore him."<br/><br/>"I'll try."<br/><br/>Alexis replied, grimly. She knew that would not be easy. She would try to behave herself for such a somber event. However, she didn't have a filter either and knowing Peter...Yeah, she'd probably tell him what she thought of him before long.<br/><br/>"You're welcome."<br/><br/>Alexis replied sadly to Pam and Travis told her as they followed her.<br/><br/>"It is good to see you again, I just wish it was under better circumstances."
