Drew: Twins! You're sure? Alex: Yup. I could see them waving at me. Drew: That's so exciting, Alex! How did Leo react? Alex: He was ecstatic... especially over the twins part! Toggle: A d-deuce? We drew a deuce? Alex: An army of two.
Just musing on previous comments about Alex’s looks, and Drew’s, and so forth….It’s ironic, isn’t it, that Alex – who still sports a random, untamed hairstyle to go with her complex, zany persona – has won the heart of a simple, and simply good, man. Complete, uncomplicated devotion! And in her own way, she gives every bit as good as she gets. Drew’s “perfect” looks get her a lot of the sort of attention that makes her want to run away. It will be fun to see how long it takes Alex to realize she’s a grownup now, and that it would be okay for her to look like one. Or maybe she’ll always see herself as belonging outside the “norm.” At any rate, she has a great family all around, and the twins will have a rich upbringing, regardless of income.
