     anne was pulling   double duty  . when she wasn’t at the circus, she was helping get    phillip     back on his feet. burn injuries were nothing to mess with, and the possibility of     infection     was still something that terrified her. until his wounds closed, they weren’t out of the woods, despite his    stubbornness   .

     she finished the show and moved to her dressing area to change out of her costume and carefully place her    pink wig    on its mannequin head. she had been quick to stitch together as near of a    replica    as she could to replace the now   charred    original version of hers, and she had spent an   entire weekend    dying a wig that p.t. had plurged on to get it to its perfect shade of    bubblegum pink   .   it had taken an extra week just to get the   beet juice stains    off of her hands.

     she was tucking her shirt into her long skirt when she heard some shuffling behind her, looking in the mirror and seeing    phillip    standing there.

     “  you’re supposed to be at home, in bed,   ”   she scolded through a surprised exhale, turning to face him.     “   what are you doing here?   ”

@crlyl​   :     ❝ you came & changed the weather. ❞

despite the happy   family-friendly   ending of the movie, things are   not    always easy for anne and phillip. after all, they live in a time where people continue to be    killed for interracial relationships    for another    sixty - seventy years   .  and honestly, there are still interracial couples that face hardships and judgment to this day. they commonly receive    horrible comments    in the streets. there have been several altercations. phillip’s been on the receiving end of    hard shoulders     in the streets, and anne has received    spit in the face     by both men and women.  there have been   death threats  . there have been   break ins and vandalism   to their home and the circus office. the world is so    immensely cruel   , and there are times that anne feels    completely broken   ,   but she refuses to let it show how much it bothers to phillip. instead, she holds on tight to the fact that she and phillip share   more love   than any of those   ignorant people    will ever have.

anne knows that phillip can get    too lost    in his work, so she eventually puts her foot down and makes it a rule that work discussions can happen    at work    in order to    separate    work and home. he needs time to wind down, and if he’s constantly reading reviews or worrying about budgets at home, then the job   never ends   . this happens before they have children, but it becomes especially important after the matter.

although anne only received an    elementary education   , she learns a lot about business by watching phillip. she often provides a    helping hand    in his office.

“Oh, well I must have been mistaken.”  She felt incredibly foolish, having made such an assumption like that.  But she knew what loneliness felt like, and she thought she could see it from a mile away.  “My apologies.  Then you must have had quite a lot of friends.”
