Summary
No one says her name like Alicia does. It's not her tone, and it's not the emotions behind it at this moment (worry-curiosity-care). It's the lilt on the 'l' and the breathlessness infused in a name she herself has -- stellar body imagery notwithstanding -- always thought of as lacking in poetry. That's okay; she does too. Her prose is perfect, and gets the job done.
Episode tag for 3x19 "Blue Ribbon Panel".

Is a nanny who can give commands!-- from "The Life I Lead" (Lyrics: Robert B. Sherman)
