Author’s Notes:
Have I mentioned that I hate staging sims and prioritizing screenshots over gameplay? I’m sure a lot of you feel the same way when writing your own simlits. But I wanted to start this chapter with an apology that there will be some story leaps that just don’t have screenshots. I just didn’t think of capturing those parts of the narrative. Sorry.
Izzy felt like a walking corpse. Dead inside and rotting on the outside. She hated the house. Every nook and cranny reminded her of Dorian and now every corner reminded her of Miriam.
Miri… Fucking Miri. Why…!
Guilt gnawed at Dorian’s insides like a trapped rat eager for escape. He knew he should feel guilty. Hell, he should feel worse.
He’d spent all day avoiding both girls. It was clear that Izzy knew something was bothering him. She didn’t approach him about it, instead withdrawing into herself. Miri, on the other hand, wouldn’t get out of his business. The mere sight of her brought forth a wellspring of unpleasant emotions. He was going to have to talk to them and soon.
The present…
Dorian carried Cristal to the park at the back of the library.
He loved the kiddo. She was like a daughter to him. The feeling was mutual too. Cristal adored Dorian.
One week after Miri and Cristal showed up on Dorian’s doorstep…
David: “I want to taste you once more before we get home.”
Fern’s Charity event…
Fern had rented out a sports club to host the event. Why? There was a playoff game being hosted in town that week and who didn’t like getting together to spend money! I don’t know. 🤷♀️
Meanwhile…
(unless the timeline doesn’t match, in which case… whatever, it’s sim time)
It had been two months since Aaron had seen Lilith. He felt like a loser. He missed her so fucking much. They had talked over the phone, but it wasn’t the same. He missed her stupid smile, her shitty humor, her killer tits and ass, and the way she–
Some random amount of time later…
Dorian hadn’t figured out how to ask Izzy to marry him. It’s not that he was avoiding it, but it just seemed more difficult than it should be. Shouldn’t things just naturally progress from dating to engagement? Like maybe he didn’t actually have to ask and she’d just transition into being his fiancé. That happened right?
Dorian wondered how his father had asked his mother to marry him. Then again, Dorian was pretty sure his mother was pregnant with him when his Dad asked… so that was a given that they would get married.
There was only one person Dorian could go to for advice…
That person happened to be just a little younger than him though. Dorian would never understand how Poe could be so much wiser when he was the younger brother.
Dorian: “So have you noticed anything different about Izzy lately?”
Poe’s eyebrows lifted up and he struggled to swallow the bite of bite of breakfast. Had his dense brother finally realized that Miri’s presence threatened fragile Izzy’s self-esteem? The ball of toast refused to go down and he could only mumble.
Poe: “Mmmph?”
