Great job! @DaniRose2143 What a fun read. Sometimes, it's wise to take time on a chapter. You did yourself proud.

I really wanted to make Leonardo the bad guy he is in my mind and I wanted readers to really hate him. I just hope I didn’t go too far with his dialogue. I sincerely apologize to anyone is offended by his thoughts of women. He is going to rue the day if he continues on this path, because he’s judging Izabella on her looks. Just because she looks like a certain negative sexist stereotype. She just happens to like those clothes and makeup style. She feels empowered and confident even though others look down on her or make rude comments. She feels pretty and nobody is going wreck her mood with those remarks. As Leonardo will discover eventually, there is a lot of truth to the saying ‘Never judge a book by its cover’.
You shouldn't have to apologize for showing how a character is. Yes, there are people who think like him in the real world. You are just depicting things as they are. But, I would suggest you substitute a word such as boofoe (which is the phonetics of what I heard my Sim Teen say several times) or plum. I was distracted trying to figure out what word he used underneath the censoring hearts.
