*brightens* Oh—oh, what, seriously? Married? Aunt Carol! *bounds over and grabs her into a big hug on impulse, oblivious to her laughing protest (put me down, boy!)* Congratulations, oh god, when's the wedding? Jackie's giving you away, right, that's what that was about...?
*grins down at you, one arm still wrapped around Carol, his free hand finding yours and holding tight before he remembers that you and he are no more (I'm not invited / I'm not family)* *more quietly, without a break in his smile (because you were smiling, god, smiling like you used to)* Congratulations.
