How long are you gonna avoid me?I'm not avoiding you. I'm trying--Alison, I will give you as much space as you need.I just don't wanna be pushed away because you feel unnecessary guilt.I'm, I'm feeling a lot of things.Is there any way you can look at me and not see your sister?I'm here, Alison. I'm alive.And I love you.And I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.What are you saying?Exactly what you think I said.I mean, Gil said that..Hey, I wanted to say congratulationsbut by the time we got home, you were already asleep.Oh, it was an exhausting day.What's wrong?Apparently, while I was recording the speecha story came out intended to crush my opponent.Well, that's politics.Some days you're the pigeon, some days you're the statue.Don't be glib.This could destroy all the goodwill mom just earned.Why would anything about Christine Phillips affect mom's speech?
