lmaooo hermione and angelica whatta match she sounds really great and i love the family backstory for her you've got going on. maybe we can say jack's mom and liz's dad were close friends as kids? i'm thinking he was of the middle class sort and later in life worked hard himself to be financially secure BUT they could've gone to the same school, lived in a similar area, or even just hung out because of some shared interest and that carried over the years to today even as jack's dad left san francisco and eventually moved back? actually to add some fun to things, liz's mom could've introduced his dad to the woman he'll be marrying in a few months? they have a pretty strained relationship, jack and his dad, and it wouldn't be uncommon for some passive aggressive remarks to fly here and there when he was discussing things while jack was busy travelling and running off doing his own thing so there might be a picture painted of "that ungrateful rebel"
