Mary Kendall, A Ghost Story

@bekkasan Oh MY, what an enjoyable couple of story posts these were! :smiley: "A Memorable Day," that title got me uber curious. :mrgreen:
I could watch Damien cook all day. :smirk: (Why isn't he shirtless? :p Oh that's right, it's winter. ;) )
Glad to hear Mary wants to go to the Festival and that Jamie is making friends in town. :)
Is that Alisha Cho wearing that long skirt in the snow? :lol: Yeah, skirts = bad idea when it's snowing. Gotta love sims. ;) Poor Jamie getting wet and frozen from the snowball fight. :( I worry about that kind of thing IRL, especially with the kiddos.
Ooooh, mysterious lady checking out Jamie! :smiley: I like this! :blush: (Nice to finally meet her, even though you kept her face hidden for a while there. :smirk: Guess I know how it felt when I kept Harvey's clean shaven face hidden for a bit in my story there. :p )
Aww, Mary is watching Damien snowboard with such love and care for him in her heart. <3 ("Please don't fall and break your neck!" :cry: :lol: )
LOVE the rainbow in the background as she's snowboarding! <3
This is making me wanna play winter in HS again...
Oh and Damien looks smokin' hot snowboarding in the next pic. Woo! :love:

Nicholas is explaining how he and his friends live off the land and how the long winters make that very difficult but a challenge they are willing to accept.

^Yup that very much sounds like the Free Spirit household. ;)
Cute of Jamie to assist Alisha in building the snowman, and oh...mystery lady is watching him. :blush:

Bert Alto approaches her and she cringes inwardly while trying to maintain a neutral look on her face. How does this sleazy guy keep from freezing out in the cold wearing that tacky outfit?

^HA HA! :joy: Saying what everyone else would be thinking if it was their game! :lol: Gosh, that was hilarious! And yes, Bert is very much a sleaze bag! :grimace:
Bekka is her name. :blush: Cute!
Instant attraction! Love it! <3

She has to place her hand behind her back to keep from reaching up to touch the dimple in his cheek.

^Hee hee hee! I had a feeling you would mention his irresistible dimple. :smirk:

Jamie thinks Bekka is extremely attractive, loves her strawberry blond hair, and thinks the cute freckles across her nose and cheeks are irresistibly kissable.

^Ooooh :smirk: :blush:
Strawberry blonde hair huh? It looked red to me, but in the later pictures I can see the more blonde in it. ? :) Gotta love how highlights and colors sometimes switch places on different hairs. It kinda drives me bonkers if you know what I mean (which I think you do. ;) ). She's got beautifully colored hair.
Yes! Those books DON'T write themselves Francesca! :lol: :p (Though we all know she really dismissed herself to give those two some alone time. :mrgreen: Hee hee!)

Building an igloo together sounds fun. :blush:
Hmm, Jamie senses some reservation on Bekka's part. ? Interesting... (Curiosity is piqued.)

"I love our long winters, and the snow doesn't bother me."

^Yup, that would be me too. :blush:

(Speaking of, got some big flakes falling outside right now. ❄ )
I'll admit for a tiny second I thought it was bold of Jamie to suggest they try and see how warm it is in side the igloo, but really...who wouldn't ask that after building one with someone? Test it out, you know? And I knew he was asking it in a non-sensual way too. Jamie's a good guy. ?
Bekka's reaction: Woah! :flushed: Like, my mouth dropped! :lol:
And yeowza to this:

"...and I don't want to be part of the harem you seem to be setting up in town."

:grimace: I mean, I could only imagine how Jamie was feeling in that moment. (Me personally, I would've been furious at the assumption and accusation!)
Okay...so we can see why she reacted the way she did. Poor girl. :cry: (Another reminder that once again we cannot judge when we don't know what is causing a person to behave a certain way. ?‍♀️ Oftentimes I ask myself, When will you learn Em? It's so hard. )

She left them to get out on their own and said boyfriend found that certain body parts like toes, fingers, and ahem others don't like freezing weather! Can anyone say frostbite?

^ROTFLOL!!! :joy: ? Oohhhh my! Have to compose myself! LOL! :lol:
Don't blame Jamie in the least for his reaction. It was harsh, but then again so was what she said, so...
This here made me laugh also:

I barely know you well enough to suggest that, if I was willing to freeze my jewels off and publicly woohoo with a stranger.

:lol:
The tension between them here, I am just soaking it up! ;) :p
I'm glad Bekka feels a bit of remorse after that, it shows she is truly a good person and has a heart, but was just burned. You described this perfectly and I could totally visualize it:

She tries calling him back, but he throws his arm up in the air in dismissal and doesn't even turn around as he stalks away.

Aww, she wanted to run after him and apologize. <3 Hopefully she'll learn some better insight about him and his integrity from Francesca for now.
LOVE her shirt! :grin: I'd like to know where you found that one if you remember. :) If not, no worries.
Cute kitties! (Calico! My favorite! :star: ) But yeah, she's a pretty lady and I like the way you decorated her house from what I can see in the picture. :)
Poor Jamie. :cry: And I had no doubt Damien would sense some distress in him. Glad he liked the taste of his burnt marshmallow. :lol: Not me...
Cute how Jamie suggested Mary get a motorcycle. :blush: I rode on one once with a guy I was interested in back in college. It was kinda fun, but I didn't like that wind in my hair...only wrapping my arms around his waist. :blush: Golly I'd forgotten about that until now...
I still love that perfectly captured shot of Jamie looking so angry and frustrated at the firepit. :lol: ?
Love the way you fixed up the café. ;) And Cassidy looks so cute! You gave her a good makeover. :)
Liam looks very suave and sexy playing darts there. :smirk: <3

Before going upstairs Mary reaches out and squeezes Damien's hands, thanking him for the delightful day. "It was another enjoyable day and a memorable one. I can't thank you enough."
"It was my pleasure to share this day with you, Mary."
She reaches out and hugs him, and he watches her go upstairs with a hopeful smile on his face.

^Awwwww! <3 All I have to say about that. I can't wait for the day they kiss ever so passionately and he turns her human and they live happily ever after. <3 <3 However I will thoroughly enjoy reading about their journey in getting there. :blush:
And of course Bekka is still on Jamie's mind. ;)

So FANTASTIC lady! I am once again hungry for more! :smiley:
