Abel squeezed her hand gently. "Then I'll stay as long as I can. Glad I can be of assistance. You know I wouldn't mind being distracted from work as long as it's you." He smiled, waving to the drinks. "One coffee, one tea, whatever you want. As for my test, I think I did okay, passing but I don't know about acing it." He laughed a soft laugh, shrugging it off. "We'll see in a few days what my test scores were." Sitting back with their arms dangling between the seats, he listened to her tell her about her day and how things had gone so awry. Alice seemed to have such a sensitive soul, it made him upset to hear that things and people had been bad for her. Furling his eyebrows, he wished he could do more.
"How about I help you run lines whenever you need?" He perked up, offering her. "Plus, if you need an escape from home, I can help with that too, and you can use practicing your lines as a reason!" He tried to offer her a comforting smile, but found himself lost instead in watching her and wanting to put that smile back on her face. "Everyone is human, even you. It's okay to make mistakes, we all do. The thing that makes us better though is how we bounce back, and I believe you'll bounce back and do wonderful. Don't let them get you down, just come back and prove them all wrong." He finally released her hand and sat back.
"I'm sorryto hear that your mom had an episode, but I'm curious why your dad would stress YOU over it, isn't he capable of taking care of her too? I mean, you're the child, while some of the responsibility may fall to you, most of it should be falling on him as the husband, that's his job. You're young, you need to be able to live your life and start making your way in the world, not locked at home with no way to leave and taking care of a disabled parent." He rubbed his cheek thoughtfully, realizing he may have over stepped the line on things he could or could not say, turning pink again. "Sorry, I didn't mean to seem to overly critical."
