Carol & Phil
As much as Phil was perfectly happy to just mingle and speak to whoever he wandered past or whoever spoke to him, there were certain people he was far more inclined to stop for than others -- Carol being one of them.
"Well, don't you look nice?" he said with a smile. "I absolutely approve."
Not that Carol needed Phil's approval, of course, or had actually even asked for it. But this was Phil and he was a smart-ass now, a good chunk of the time. Even with everything he'd gone through lately, that smart-ass streak still peeked through. "You're definitely wearing that better than I'm wearing mine."
