Martin is a really good guy and maybe a little too indulgent 😆

I often think that one’s playing style leaves traces in the game and it will also affect whims.

Haha, I hope Martin will do a better job parenting his child than he does parenting his cats.

It’s amazing how their whims play into each other like that! Whenever I play the game without mods, the whims are something random like “buy a bee box” or “buy X furniture” or “practice speech in the mirror”. I almost never look at them as a result. Yours sound way more fun to play with, hehe.

The cats lack parenting and Fiona is definitely the worst. You’re right that it falls back on Martin in the first place. Tusnelda has obviously done a better job with Trix.

I thought you might have guessed Tusnelda’s revelation. You are a very attentive reader ❤
I love your remark about the involuntary birth control of the fish in the lake. The thought crossed my mind as I wrote the chapter 😆

I’m glad I managed to describe Tusnelda’s inner journey in a believable way. Now they are both ready for the next step.
They have really rediscovered their spark on their vacation. They are a wonderful couple in the game because their whims make them automatically seek each other out.
The holidays are over and the challenges of everyday life lie ahead of them for better or worse 😉

Fiona is so badly behaved around food xD that one’s all on you, Martin, for not raising her not to do that. Haha, I love that last picture. Fiona, Trix and the kittens are always entertaining.

Oooh, I wonder what kind of revelation Tusnelda just had underneath the waterfall? “Even this”? Is she coming to a decision about having a child with Martin?

It’s nice to see how they each have their own things, even on vacation, but the other person is still on their mind constantly. They really reawakened that spark, didn’t they? I wonder what conversation is going to be at the end of this. Awwwwww the cats eating spaghetti picture made me melt. That is just the cutest thing and I want it on my wall. xD

Ooooh I knew it! That’s such a huge gesture from Tusnelda. She really has made a complete turnaround. Let’s hope there’s no fish couple under the waterfall that suddenly can’t have baby fish anymore, ha. Tusnelda and Martin are about to take a huge step in life that they can’t turn back from. I’m sure they’ll be just fine, though. <3

The proverb is right; it only takes one step to change direction. But a step out of rhythm also throws you off-balance and you’ll need to catch yourself with the next step. I think having two chapters in Granite Falls and showing us both steps was the right decision. =)

Thank you very much cathytea
I’m glad you didn’t think it got too long. Your comment means a lot to me ❤
