you are Anne. You are married in this. TW Racism implied
another show had finished and this time his horrible parents were in the crowd, his hands were completely shaky yet he had still pushed through the show. His parents didn’t clap and we’re probably here to humiliate or confront him about dating a coloured woman (I mean it is the late 1870s so yeah
the rest of the performers had gone backstage apart from Phillip, W.D Wheeler (your big brother) and yourself, you all wanted to know what his parents wanted with him
you cling to his arm trying to calm him down as his parents come over, clearly unimpressed and upset. His dad speaks up
Mr Carlyle_”How is this freak show what you left everything for?” he spat before continuing And for a dirty woman such as her he points at you, letting go of Philip’s wrist you clench your fists. Your big brother W.D is pissed as he fights the urge to punch his parents in law
Phillip_”Farther please, every single performer under this tent taught me how to be happy” he says defensively
