@bekkasan Yay for an awesome new chapter to read after my Conference watching. ;)
I'm so happy to hear Jamie will be moving to Hidden Springs. <3 It really is a beautiful and special place that just draws folks in. :blush: Now he and Damien will be a dynamic duo! And I couldn't help thinking of what Donkey said on "Shrek" when I thought that:
"Two stalwart friends on another whirlwind adventure!" :mrgreen:
Mary scaring Jamie and his reaction face! :joy: OMGosh! I laughed so hard!
And then they threw silly faces out at each other, that was too cute. :blush:
It's funny, as cute as he is and so cheerful he doesn't affect her the same way Damien does. Damien is more serious and determined but he makes her heart flutter when he looks at her. She is getting warm thinking about him.
^I like hearing that since meeting Damien she's becoming warmer and warmer each day. <3 A hinted foreshadowing. :smirk: I do that quite a bit in my stories as well. ;)
Cute convo she had with Jamie. It's as if they were always friends and just didn't know it yet. :)
I hope all goes well with Damien's efforts to reopen the investigation! :star: Because I can see how he will most likely be met with resistance. :(
It doesn't surprise me that the Vanderburgs would reward Jamie so handsomely, but I can understand his reaction. ;) I think his dimpled cheek charm really rubbed off on Catarina. :smirk: :lol: (Her hair pulled up like that is cute. It must be an ITF hair because I don't have it in my game...)
Damien is chatting with Betty about her will and how Damien found out the husband inherited instead of Betty's children. Betty screeches when she hears about the will. Damien tries to soothe her with little success. Jamie threatens to whip out his banshee banisher if she screeches again and doesn't settle down.
^LOL! :joy: Ohhhh man! Another good laugh! I know I wouldn't be able to handle that screeching either and probably would've threatened the same if I had to listen to it long enough! :grimace:
Damien's scolding towards him about it. :lol: I understand, and I love that Damien likes to handle things in a more gentle way. <3
"Betty gets upset easily. She can wail for hours. We used to upset her on purpose to frighten the renters."
^Lol! :lol: Good one!
Awwww! That is SO sweet of Jamie to offer Damien his reward money to help with the renovations on the Manor. <3 *Holds hand to heart* And it was equally sweet of Mary to offer up her gemstones to sell too. :blush:
Damien raises his hands. "Guilty, with good intentions..."
^That was cute. :blush: I could totally picture it and his face expression. :love: And he's right in what he told her. I hope she will be able to find the ability to trust in that. She was burned badly...and I can understand her hesitation.
Snowflake Eve! :smiley: I'm excited Snowflake day is coming and that you got the chance to play it after not having Seasons in your game for years. :)
Cute that Damien would hear Sherlock sometimes. :blush: I love birds so much that when I hear one, I know I'm not hearing things and I'll find it. :p
Yay she opened up the attic to him. They are growing closer and closer and I just LOVE it! <3 (I may have this picture in my mind of them kissing up there, but...I think it's still a bit too early for that. ;) :mrgreen: )
Can't wait for the next Chapter! :smiley:
