Kevin made it to level 8 of the career and completed the chef aspiration! Go Kevin! Just two career levels left

The day after Winterfest, Kevin dropped by Zoe's house before work to meet her new son Wesley. He was a sweet kid. They watched cartoons. It was nice to see Zoe happy.
After work, Kevin had enough money for the house he wanted to bring his girlfriend to. If she wanted to move in. And if she liked the house.
Oh right, this is the welcome wagon in this neighborhood

Uh oh.
"Don't you like the house? I've been saving up to buy it for a long time."

"Well, it's not beautiful. And it doesn't really suit you, does it? I mean, you're going to be a celebrity chef, and this looks more like the kind of place a fast food manager would live in. ...Oops, did I say something wrong?"

Kevin's heart sank. He was already feeling tense from work and it was all he could do not to snap at her.
"Do you want to see one other house today?" she asked.
Kevin agreed.
"This is more beautiful, and would suit a celebrity chef much better," said Mayumi.

It was a Spanish Revival style house with beautifully tiled floors and a big yard.
(This started out as "The Cordes Shell" on the gallery, created by macthekat82.)

"I wish I could buy this for you, I mean us, I mean... well, I'd have to work for a lot longer to afford it," said Kevin.
https://i.postimg.cc/rp4Q8y3r/06-05-23-10-15-43-AM.png
"Oh, that's okay, I have some money of my own," said Mayumi. "Not enough to buy the house alone either. But maybe we could together?"
https://i.postimg.cc/RVPPdDwN/06-05-23-10-11-33-AM.png
They could!
And she joined the household.
I wanted Kevin to carry Mayumi across the threshold. I guess the proposal animation would have to do ;)

The bills won't be bad

Mayumi had been sad during their house-shopping-- now that she's joined the household, I can see that she's only sad because Kevin was tense. Awww. <3

Kevin gave Mayumi a belated Winterfest present of an easel, and she gave him a microwave and an ice cream maker.
"So you won't set anything on fire," she said happily.

"That's thoughtful. This oven looks like a deathtrap," said Kevin.
"Of course that's what I meant!" said Mayumi. "Nothing about your cooking abilities at all..."
https://i.postimg.cc/sxTJnMQt/06-05-23-11-34-49-AM.png
They enjoyed a meal together in their dining room with a view
https://i.postimg.cc/8k4wk0Kt/06-05-23-11-37-42-AM.png
Mayumi wanted the big balcony to be a place where she could be alone, paint, do her homework, and think.
Kevin had thought it would be a party deck.
"You have the rest of the house to have parties in," she said, reasonably.
So the deck is now Mayumi-land

I like this painting. I think we'll keep it. It's like she's painting the landscape but with an imaginary addition

Some of Kevin's old furniture has decorated the second bedroom. Perhaps it will be a nursery one day?

Mayumi was pleased to discover her new neighbor was a higher-up in the arts world.
Really, Don??

Perhaps the fruitcake didn't agree with Mayumi?

Mayumi has one (other) secret... she actually isn't doing too well in school. We'll see if we can fix that. Turns out she has the painter aspiration, so an art degree would be worth it to her.
