The Cowboy and the Mermaid
Dwight calls Lorelei the next morning and invites her over for breakfast. "I've gotten pretty good at fixing waffles." He is happy when she agrees to come over. He greets her at the door and tells her to make herself at home.

She sits at the bar and watches him cook. "You seem to be enjoying yourself."
Dwight nods, "I've never had to cook for myself before. Living on the ranch meals were prepared by the ranch cook or you ate out at a restaurant if you wanted something different or had a date. I've really started to enjoy the process of cooking and will start trying out some new recipes. I will make sure to practice a few times before inviting you to eat a new recipe."
"My Mom did the cooking or we ate out or had sushi which is not really cooked, but prepared. I just eat out or fix something that I buy and all I do is heat it up. I will be happy to try your new recipes." She watches as he prepares the waffles fascinated by how comfortable he is with making them.

"This is delicious!" Lorelei exclaims. "Have you seen the new benches at the park down the street. I don't know what the council was thinking when they bought them, they are hard and ugly and might as well be made of cement."
Lorelei cleans up the dirty dishes telling Dwight, "you cooked so it is only fair I clean up."

They walk down to the pool and he invites her to swim in the pool anytime she would like too. "I know it gets hot and nothing like a refreshing dip to cool off."
Lorelei explains that she would love to swim right now, but has a diving job that she better get busy and finish for the science department.

Dwight does his laps and then his stretches and exercises.

Lorelei swims out to the deeper waters and dives down searching for the fish that the science lab wants brought in to study.

They days pass by and Dwight's muscles seem to be less tight in his back and leg. He made it all the way up the stairs last night without having to stop halfway up. The pain is still there, but it is bearable now. Ice and heat and soaks help him manage it without the booze and pills. He is finding more friendly people in the town to enjoy time with. He especially enjoys spending time with the lovely Lorelei. Dwight gets up one morning and decides he wants to learn fishing, so he grabs a fishing pole and heads to the beach. He selects the fishing lesson in his tablet and follows the instructions.

Lorelei remembers to pay the bills and then heads to town on her bike to find another diving job. The science lab requested that she explore a few of the underwater caves and report her findings to them.

I went to check on Lorelei and came back to find Dwight playing in the ocean and he had abandoned the fishing. He had two small minnows in his inventory though. As most of you know I rarely allow my sims full autonomy, but I have been letting them do their own thing in this save most of the time. I still make sure they do certain things like Lorelei has to collect and dive for her job and Dwight will eventually have a job too, but he still needs to get healthier. They both had wishes to go on a date with each other so I finally made him ask her out as it didn't seem like either were gonna do that on their own. That will be in a future update. Thanks for all the sweet comments.
