"Hey, kiddo!" Daniel greeted her, stepping into Alexandra's room.

"Dad! What's up? And are you willing to do my homework in exchange for me eating ice cream and crying over Newt dying in 'The Death Cure'?" she quipped, a mischievous glint in her eye.

"Daniel chuckled. "Tempting offer, but I'm afraid that homework's all on you."

Alex grinned, lifting an eyebrow in mock disappointment. "Tough negotiator."

They shared a laugh, the tension in the room momentarily dissipating.

Shifting gears, Daniel steered the conversation toward tomorrow's plans. "So, any chance you'll be joining us at the country club tomorrow?" he asked, trying to mask his disappointment from his earlier conversation with Sam.

Alex nodded enthusiastically. "Absolutely! You know Demetri and Eli won't let me off the hook that easily," she said with a smirk.

After a moment of comfortable silence, Daniel probed, "What's blaring through those earphones of yours today?"

"Radiohead, obviously," she replied proudly. "Whose daughter do you think I am, after all?"

Their laughter filled the room, momentarily lifting the concern Daniel had about the upcoming tradition and bonding them over their shared love for music and playful banter.
