I’m imagining Tusnelda as a little hurricane and Martin as the big rock that she swirls around, but that also centers her. They do compliment each other well 😊

Rasmus forgetting about Don a bit is sad for Don, but not Rasmus’s responsibility, I think. I don’t think it’s children either but seeing Rasmus happy and fulfilled, with a familial goal, while Don flits around going nowhere in particular, I imagine might leave an impression. Hopefully Don can learn and grow, too.

Strawberry vampire shall forevermore be known as Strawberry! It could even be his stage name, ha. Masato is just desperate for any screen time at all 😂

Martin is definitely not a boring man, but he is much more structured and calm than Tusnelda. He likes his routines and always chooses to do thorough research, where Tusnelda often throws herself into new ideas and challenges without reservation. Martin rarely loses his temper, so I imagine that in that way they complement each other perfectly. I’m not sure he’d ever get on a horse without Tusnelda, but he’ll probably reach the top of his mountain sooner or later.

Rasmus is in a fantastic place in his life and it is so well deserved 🥰
He has gone through a big evolution. He was so ready to embrace his entire new family. Unfortunately, in doing so, he ends up leaving Don to his own messy ways 😟
Don still has a lot to learn. I am sure that he has understood that Rasmus has something he lacks, and here I am not thinking of children, but the ability to self-reflect on what he is looking for in his life. Until now, it has just dawned on him that his familiar life doesn’t work for him anymore and Eva definitely can’t help him with a clarification 🤨

Nina always looks like she wants to seduce Don so I thought she needed to cool off a bit 😂
It’s good that Dina stays out of that drama.

The strawberry vampire probably has a name, but I’ve never looked into it. Masato is a bit more interesting, although he should please stay on the periphery and in the secret lab. He doesn’t seem to agree with me on that matter, as he often has a habit of landing in front of the camera lens at an inopportune moment 🙄

Rasmus is surrounded by well-earned bliss <3 Haha, I remember my own mum telling me about her kids kicking her ribs quite a bit when they were in the womb.

Aw, Don. He seeks connection but all he knows is quick pleasure, so that’s what he keeps reaching for instead. Something tells me that Don seeing Rasmus, happy and blissful with a spouse and family, might not be the void-filling cure that Don is hoping it will be. Oh, aaaand he’s back to Eva. Never mind. xD

Chestnut Ridge is gorgeous. Looks like Martin and Tusnelda are having a great time 😄

Bwahahaha, Nina fleeing onto the balcony and now stuck there is hilarious. Woops. Nothing to do but wait! Let’s hope they don’t go at it all night…

Strawberry vampire! He’s as creepy as ever. And Masato on top of that. Sorry, you two! No extra spotlight allowed. If Dina and Nina are mayflies, than you’re three-day-moths. Off you flap, now 🤭

Thank you for your comment ❤
I really think Tusnelda and Martin needed new challenges. They are quite different but they seem to enjoy their shared experiences. They both agree on their love for cats.
I’m writing the next chapter and I’m not quite done with Chestnut Ridge. I love that landscape with the big open sky 🥰

Ha, ha. You know I don’t disagree with you about Don. It has struck me lately that he often looks so displeased in the game. A far cry from his usual smug appearance. I wanted to challenge it a bit. His reaction when he saw Katrina in her enticing lingerie was so surprisingly funny 😂
A machine without a brain is a good description, so she just had to press the right button to get it working again.
I know I might be tightening it when I make him a victim of his own sex appeal, but not everyone learns the same way. He’s on his way 😉

Thanks for bringing the missing picture to my attention. I host all my pictures from Imgur so I don’t know how it disappeared? At one point I got a warning that one of my images had been censored – perhaps by mistake. I didn’t understand the message and it doesn’t make any sense when I see which picture was missing? I’ve re-uploaded the image on Imgur and we’ll see.

Dina and Joaquin are not a bad match, actually, I’m glad Dina seems to be removing herself from all the Caliente drama.

As for Don, well, you know how I feel about Don. I desperately want him to get his head out of his butt, but trying to mentor a huge, muscled Allan doesn’t exactly show off his brain power. Allan has bigger arms than you, Don, what do you think you can teach him?

I love how Rasmus’ house has changed now that he has a family, with pictures of Fabio and kid’s drawings on the wall, it feels so cozy and homey.

“Please forget what I have ever written about my hope for Don’s development. Instincts have taken over and old habits can be very hard to break.” Hahaha, this made me laugh. Don, you’re hopeless. (I still have hope for him too, though. I can’t help it 😂) Also, that man is a machine, three times in one day? Impressive!

I love all of Tusnelda and Martin’s vacation, it’s such a gorgeous world and it’s probably good for them to get away and experience something new after all the stress they’ve been through lately. And it sounds like Martin may have found a new obsession!

(By the way, one of your images is missing, the one with the caption “Goodbye Martin! Have a safe trip.”)

Ah… I liked Tusnelda and Martin’s trip to Chestnut Ridge. They look like they had a pretty good time, and Martin has made a new friend. I’m wondering what thoughts Martin is having now regarding Mike’s stories of climbing the mountain. Memories? Or new ambitions? Hmmm…

Joaquin and Dina, hm? That was unexpected. But they look happy.

Nina running out and standing trapped on the balcony after seeing Don and Katrina together cracked me up. 🤣
