Emilia Bexley

Since having Lizzie, Bex dropped out of the public high school and, completed her diploma at The Oakston Center For Girls while working as a clerk part-time at the pharmacy where her brother worked. The carpooling required for Bex to get to work helps smooth out the wrinkles in their relationship, though it is still never quite the same. She eventually moves to New York when her father downsizes and sells her childhood home. Without a place to call home, she and Lizzie join Silas in a Greenwich apartment.

Over the years, she and Tim have been on and off. Mostly off, but arguing when they’re on. For the first few years, she held a brightly lit candle for Tim and hoped that he’d get his act together— finally. But in the latter half of the decade, her energy has turned to shielding Lizzie from the realities of why that light has dimmed.

She currently works as a receptionist in the offices of a small parochial school, which does not offer a great deal of money but does enable her daughter to attend the private school for free.
