Sul Sul! My idea for this thread is to have a dedicated space to document what is happening in my game surrounding my favorite sim family - the Holdens! It’s like a hub for all things Holden family...

Spring | Week 2 - Part II: A Tartosan Paradise

Weekend Highlights
Friday - Love Day has finally arrived, and Darla woke up feeling heartbroken. After a long night of crying, she carefully decided that she would give Wade another chance despite her devastation. She didn’t want the whole family to pay the toll for Wade’s bad choices. She looked herself in the mirror, put a fake smile on her face, and told herself she was going to get through this.
Wade had some extravagant Love Day plans for him and Darla. He called his mother, Mae, to come over and babysit the kids over the weekend so he could take Darla on a trip to an all-inclusive resort in Tartosa - the Canopy Villa Resort & Spa. Darla still felt extremely betrayed, and the last thing she wanted to do was go on a weekend getaway with Wade, but the tickets for this trip cost thousands of simoleons. The trip was non-refundable, so she may as well go and enjoy herself even if she does her own thing the entire trip.
Once they arrived in Tartosa, Wade took Darla to a world-famous nectary, the Nectar Hill Vineyards, for a nectar tasting. Love must have filled the air in Tartosa, because Darla thoroughly enjoyed their conversation while drinking nectar, and she began to let her feelings of betrayal fade away.

Before she knew it, they were slow dancing to her favorite song, Zumbray. Wade was being so romantic, and fond memories of their relationship started to flow back into her mind as they gazed into each other’s eyes. Though Darla knew that this relationship couldn’t be fixed in one night, Wade was clearly trying really hard to give her the best Love Day he could, and she appreciated his efforts.

The couple ended their night back at resort. They stayed in a corner suite that gave them the most perfect view of the ocean. The couple gazed up at the stars with a glass of nectar in their hands, and they felt like they were in a Tartosan paradise!

Saturday - As the Tartosan trip continued, Darla started off her morning with a hot stone massage that Wade booked for her. He even requested that they shower the area with rose petals and play some romantic music for her to enjoy while she gets pampered. The beautiful atmosphere and massage was exactly what she needed to relax.

The resort offered a poolside brunch, so Darla and Wade made a point to attend it. They enjoyed their meals and drinks while they had a long conversation about what changes needed to take place in the relationship for Wade to earn Darla’s trust back. Wade knew he was in the wrong, so he politely agreed to meet all of Darla’s demands to keep their relationship.

After a long and deep discussion, they decided it’s time for some fun and enjoy their time together! They lounged on the tanning deck, swam in the pool, and took a long walk along the coast.

The sun was starting to set, and Rhi Russo was playing live music at the Sun Deck stage. Wade bought a table right in the front row so he and Darla could enjoy some beachy drinks and watch Rhi play her most well known hits. Wade even managed to request that Rhi do a cover of Zumbray. Once Darla heard the song start, tears filled up her eyes. She knew it was probably just the Tartosan love vibes, but she felt so overwhelmingly happy to be there with Wade. She just hoped that he would keep up this effort once they got back home to their daily lives.

Sunday - Darla was really missing the kids, so she decided they were going to end their trip early. Wade was able to book an earlier flight, and before they knew it they were in the air flying back home to Newcrest. After the parents got back from their romantic getaway, they jumped right back into family mode. They all went to the Desert Bloom park in Oasis Springs to enjoy some new scenery and warm weather! She ran into Elena at the park and explained to her that she was giving Wade another chance. She went on and on about the past couple of days, telling Elena all of the memories they made while they were in Tartosa. Elena was totally against the idea because she doesn’t think Wade’s actions are forgivable, but at the end of the day it’s Darla’s choice.
