Hi @ZazzyKittyn🙂 Cool trick being able to turn the spoiler window grey! Mine are always black and I can never get the text to show in them.

I have some ideas I'm considering for Guilia after Liberty completes her training and takes over as the agent in charge in Windenburg. You're not far off from what I have planned for Izabella. It will involve Londyn and Danielle. You're really close though.😃

@DaniRose1243 did you try compose instead of HTML for your spoilers

I can never get my replies posted when using HTML so compose it is but gonna have to figure it out for the new Sims Forum in July

Thanks @ZazzyKittyn. I had some help from @Ellupelluellu and we figured out that it doesn't turn grey until you actually post. It's not as user friendly as the old forum but HTML Markdown is much easier to use than this variation of HTML from what I've read. Here's hoping for a short learning curve!🙂

@DaniRose2143 Now I'm speculating what's going to happen with Izabella. I guess we're going to have to wait until you get everything transferred. 🙂

@simgirl1010 Unfortunately you are correct. I didn't have a good plan on how to bring her into the story then. I have one now and she will be back in the story to stay in the near future.🙂

In today's chapter we meet a new character, and she actually sticks around for a change😆, Matteo's younger sister Allegra. There is one thing that will change after this chapter, her use of Italian when she gets upset. I tried it here with some longer passages. When you come across them just open the spoiler and the English version of what she says is under there. I still use Italian in most chapters, but only a word or two at a time, and most are easy to figure out based on context. So with that explanation on with the story...

Chapter 25

Woah, is Allegra moving in? 😃 Happy to see Matteo willing to reunite with his family.

@simgirl1010 She's just moving in for a night or two.🤣

"It's my industrial hair dryer and I can't live without it!"

Chapters 25 and 26 are both fairly short so I thought I'd do another two chapter day. In Chapter 25 Londyn gets her first big break and in Chapter 26 we see Danielle like we've never seen her before, angry.

@Ellupelluellu Good riddance to Faith. Nobody needs that kind of negativity in their lives. I have a feeling Danielle's new agent will be much better.😉

@DaniRose2143I'm all caught up. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Faith dealt with!
Now... what's next for our friend Leonardo? Sometimes it's good to see a character get their comeuppance in a story when IRL it doesn't always work that way, especially in situations with his kind. But might I add how sensitively handled it is and it's made clear from the outset he is in the wrong... doesn't always get portrayed that way in some stories.

@simsplayer818 I'm sad to say that Leonardo's storyline is still no closer to a conclusion. I recently finished Chapter 46 so there's a long way to go yet, but I am planning to have Izabella come back into the story to stay in the next 2 or 3 chapters. When she does, I'll start wrapping up his story. Just like Faith he's going to get what's coming to him, but it will take more than one chapter.🙂 Being the sexist guy he is, Leonardo sees Izabella as a dumb blonde, but he will find out that hair color and gender have no bearing on one's intelligence. He picked the wrong woman to mess with. Izabella didn't become a business mogul because she's pretty.😁 

Sorry for missing yesterday. Things were a bit crazy, but I'm back with another chapter. In this one Danielle has a surprise for Faith.

Chapter 28

In today's chapter Matteo reunites with his parents and Liberty updates her look.

@Ellupelluellu Thank you🙂

Today's chapter is all about Summer. This is something that I want to do more in the future. Too often Summer and Darian become background characters while the Huntley's and Rossi's get the spotlight.

Chapter 30

@DaniRose2143 

What a wonderful episode. So satisfying to read about women encouraging and rooting for each other.

@simgirl1010 Thank you so much. That's one of the themes I wanted for this story beyond love and finding your soulmate. I wanted the women who make up the heart of this story, what I call "The Sisterhood", to be there for each other, good times and bad times. If life knocks one of them down the others pick her up, give her a hug, and help her through the rough times. We should all have friends like that.

I'm lucky, I have two.❤️ And trust me, they've picked up on more than one occasion.😍
