Time once again to head to Tartosa and see what the ladies, and Matteo, are up to.
Following Londyn's heartfelt, and deeply romantic proposal, life has resumed it's daily routines. Well, routines sprinkled with making plans for a stunning wedding. There are so many details to cover. Where will it be? Who's going to fill which roles? When? Is there just one dress to shop for, or are there two? Details on top of details.

Life for Summer has been really quiet without any men to bring complications and drama. Summer isn't giving up on the search for her soulmate, absolutely not. She's just enjoying some time where everything is going smoothly and no one is making her life extra stressful.
There is little doubt in anyone's mind now, it's only a matter of when, not if, Matteo pops the question to Liberty. The signs couldn't be clearer that this isn't a summer fling, it's the real thing. Just a few months ago he was nearly unemployed. His dreams in tatters and slipping away fast. Liberty pulled him out of that spiral and things couldn't be going better. She has been a godsend for him.
Things are getting serious enough that Liberty has already shared her thoughts with Summer.
In Part Two, Liberty has a big day at work ahead of her even though she's been up all night talking to Summer. Liberty is going to need more than just Matteo's hot and delicious breakfast to get her up and out the door in a few hours. She has a performance review soon that holds a promotion for her if it goes well.
Part Two will be up later tonight or first thing tomorrow morning. I didn't want to keep you waiting any longer. Thank you as always from the bottom of my heart for following along!❤️

Londyn finished yet another round of commercials for Salty Suds Detergent. The latest round of commercials was so successful it lead to several phone calls from Londyn's agent with the news she had been waiting to hear. TV show producers were calling her agent checking on Londyn's availability for a couple of small roles. Small they may be, but it's the next step toward global stardom. To top that off, SimCelebrity Magazine named Londyn a One-Star celebrity.

Summer can focus on her work and mastering many new dishes and building her mixology skills. Besides which it gives her more time to work on planning a menu for Danielle and Londyn's big day. Who else would the ladies trust to cater their wedding?

Every morning before Liberty heads off to work Matteo makes sure to have a hot breakfast ready and waiting for her.

Everyday Matteo sets aside time to sit and talk to Liberty, and more importantly, just listen.

Things are getting serious enough that Liberty has already shared her thoughts with Summer.
Spoiler
Summer: How are things for you and loverboy?
Liberty: LoverBOY? I don't have a boy. Girl, I have a full on MAN. Oh god, Summer, I'm sorry that sounded so wrong!
Summer: What are you talking about? Sorry for what?
Liberty: I mean, you being single and all, and here I am getting close to marriage and talking about having a man...
https://i.imgur.com/nSgjlqD.png
Summer: What do you mean close to marriage? Spill it Lib! What's Matteo done to make you think it's getting close to marriage?
Liberty: What hasn't he done?! He is so attentive. When I come home after work he's ready to sit and listen to me. We talk and talk, but he always wants to hear about me, and my day first. He has a hot breakfast ready for me every morning. We sit and discuss the day ahead over breakfast. He's a great kisser, and he's dynamite in bed!

Summer: Dynamite in bed! You sound like stepped out of one of Danielle's novels!
Liberty: I feel like everyday! God I love him so much!
https://i.imgur.com/eznEw1h.png?2
Summer: Do you think he's close to proposing? How long are you going to wait for him to do it? You should demand a proposal!
Liberty: Summer! Pump the brakes girl. There is all the time in the world. I have no doubt he'll propose, and he'll do it when the time is right. And there is no way in the world I'm going to deliver him an ultimatum like that!
https://i.imgur.com/mccMC0S.png?1
Summer: Sorry Lib. That was rude of me to say.
Liberty: Don't worry about it Summer. I know your heart is in the right place. I know you're worried about me, but I'm not the fragile flower I used to be. In a strange way I owe a lot to Travis for the crap he pulled. Without that I doubt any of this ever happens, I'm still the same old shy, geeky, awkward girl I was if it didn't. Stuck cleaning space capsules and dreaming of a life of excitement that was never going to come my way. Now look at me! I would still consider slapping his face if he came up to talk to me, but I still owe him. Someday I'll be able to forgive, even if I'll never forget.
Summer: I feel the same way about the jerk! Here give me a hug! I need to run and we both need to get some sleep. Big days ahead for both of us! By the way, I love what you and Matteo are doing to the place! It's such an improvement!
Liberty: We're just getting started. Wait until you see what we have in store.
