What are your personal thoughts on digital clocks?

Also to Paige

What happens if I get creative, but use green on everything?

1. anthony believes that digital clocks are an insult to analogue clocks and tend to take offense to them. he considers them inferior because they "take away from the craftsmanship" and he dislikes how people depend on them rather than figuring out how to read an analog clock. very boomer-coded, "back in my day" type of thinking

(fun fact: antonio likes both types of clocks, which is another reason anthony hates his guts)

This poison has infected my thoughts, daily now. Every time I look upon my wife's face, I remember those damned words that cursed screen burned into my eyes.

"Say 'hello' to the missus for me".

It repeats itself, echoes in the late hours of the night - it has robbed me of sleep, and chipped away at my fortitude.

I ache to tell her. The silence is so lonely, and I know that certain burdens should only be mine to bear, but the more time passes, the more I can see that she senses my torment. I see it in the way that she looks at me, the way that she speaks to me, the way that she regards me...

Even in my efforts, I am failing to protect her from this weight. No matter how strong I believe myself to be, I am still failing her.

I love her more than I could possibly describe. Paige and I have survived through the very worst, and yet, I find that I am yielding to my own fear.

The truth is that I do not know the extent of that man's power. I have met him only once and in that time, he proved me weaker than I ever imagined myself to be. If he could do that to me, what could he do to her?

As stubborn as I am, I sincerely thought that I could handle this on my own and spare her this knowledge. I thought that I could hold myself together and see his intentions fail.

In reality, through all of my efforts, he got exactly what he wanted from me regardless.

He wanted my fear, and I supplied it to him in scores without breathing a word.

I must tell her. I must warn her, no matter how much hatred and disgust I hold towards myself for all of this.

paige & anthony are heavy believers that they're at their very best when they work together. both have different ways of going about things, so when it comes to any problems they might face, they play off of each other's strengths and use them strategically

as for just company, you'll almost ALWAYS see them out together. if they're not together, the other is never too far away.

even so, there are times when they each need their space to decompress and be in their element, which they respect.

"vennetia" is a play on the word "venetian", which was inspired by venetian masks and italy's impact on the realm of art throughout history!

"andente" is a musical term which is written on a musical score when you're supposed to play something at a moderately slow tempo, and tempo is derived from tempus! otherwise known as the latin word for time

both were paige's & anthony's last names respectively before they got married. since they didn't want the other to lose their name, they chose to take both!

thus we have their combined last names, symbolic of their love in tendem:
