@Vampgirl27DV Okay firstly, I’d change the entire reasoning for Josie burning Hope’s painting. Just like in the show Jo won’t know it’s a painting Hope and her dad made together, but this time instead of accidentally setting it on fire she does it one purpose. Get rid of the whole letter BS, and make up a scene where Alaric takes something personal of the twins or something he and the twins do together , like something they really value, and have him offer it to Hope. Basically just imagine the euphoria scene where Cassie and Lexie use to go out with their dad, and outta the blue he stops showing up? Ye, have something like that with the twins, but just start it off slowly, like first he invited Hope to do whatever with them and then later on he only does those things with JUST Hope. Jo would set the painting on fire out of jealousy because of her dad’s negligence, which they can discuss in a later episode/chapter to show how much the twins were affected by Alaric and Hope’s relationship overshadowing the one he has with his kids.
