Fatima and Elijah have truly earned their own place in the story. I love describing their dynamic. Elijah always seeks her gaze and it makes me melt. I would say though that the Wicked Mod makes them almost uncontrollable. 😅

Don is a wreck. He is desperately fighting to hold on to his self-image. So far, he has been able to reflect himself in the women in his life, as the irresistible womanizer. It is gradually failing miserably.
His salvation is that he has met Fabio and in these interactions can practice a responsible healthy relationship, without the intention of satisfying a selfish need.

Marcus has finally surrendered. Jade has fought really hard to get there and one often doubts whether it is the idea of ​​marriage or Marcus that attracts her. They are a couple that often seem out of sync.

Brooke seems to have some affection for Don but he never notices it. Wake up Don! 👀

Don and Eva had me cracking up! Don using women as a way to solve his problems, whether trying to use them as therapists, or distractions – he really needs to find another coping mechanism. 🤣

Oh dear. I’m with Jade about that room. Looks like a vampire’s nest, for sure! 🤣

“I hope we don’t feel old broken springs in our backs” she says. – oh boy. Don’t hold back, Jade. 🤣

OMG Marcus finally proposed! That should put Eva’s worries to rest.

Don and Brooke are funny. Even female cats get fed up with his self-absorbed nature. 🤣

Thank you for your comment. I’m glad you like the scenes that move a little beyond the main story. I had quite a bit of fun making them 😂

Fatima and Elijah are so lovely together 🥰
Masato has a habit of showing up at the most inappropriate times. Like when I’m in the middle of shooting serious subjects. Here, he was finally allowed to speak for himself 😅

Fatima and Elijah are the best! And Fatima looks absolutely *stunning* in her photoshoots!

(Also Masato cracked me up xD Way to try to steal the show, dude!)

Thank you for your sweet comments ❤
I am so happy to be able to save them here now that the Forum is going out with the garbage 😢

I think it’s fun to play with the images and that’s what I’ve done in this chapter. The picture of Marcus and Jade might seem too crude up close, but as a mirror image it is romantic and sweet.

Don and Fabio have a really good connection in my game. This shows that Don has a caring side.

Fatima is so inspiring for me to dress up because she doesn’t look amazing in every outfit. When I do succeed she looks divine. You can rest assured that she will not disappear from history. She and Elijah are very important to me.

That’s a good question 🥰
I have a script that controls the development and direction, but there is room for changes along the way without losing sight of the end.
The person gallery has expanded during the writing process. Sometimes it is a big challenge for me to choose who should be the focus of the individual chapters. In particular, it is a challenge after there are offspring in the story. I take a lot of pictures of events that are discarded because they will differ too much or drag the story away from my goal.
I have quite a few parallel Saves that I use for elaborate scenes. Everything is merged into a master save, using MCCC if there are any links missing.
It is a big puzzle and therefore it must also end at some point. However, that time is not quite yet.

I love the image of Jade and Marcus kissing in the mirror. But oh my! I wasn’t expecting a proposal. Congrats to them!

Don and Fabio’s relationship is very sweet and not something I would have predicted earlier from just knowing about Don. He has a really caring and patient side, and it's nice to see it flourishing.

Fatima’s style for the photos is great. It’s a nice change from how she usually is. I laughed at the error message. Haha! 😆🤣 It’s important for couples to have fun and try new things. The switch to pillow fighting made it quite wholesome.

“She is absolutely amazing but heading way beyond the limit. You two must control yourselves or I will have to write you out of the story.”

😂😂 Oh no! I would be sad if they got written out. I hope they’re a bit less wicked.

Out of curiosity, how do you decide the order of your chapters? I like how you focus on different characters and weave all the different stories together. When I read you story it feels natural and almost effortless, but managing such a large cast would be a huge challenge for me. It's really impressive.

Those of us with cats know they rule the world 😂

I think you are right when you say that Jade wants glamor and luxury more than rural idyll. In that case, a doctor should probably have the right financial leeway. Their relationship seems fundamentally unstable. Maybe the ring will help 😆

Don will be a great father when he reorganizes himself, but how? It is up to him to learn. Fabio really looks up to Don from day one. In his eyes, he is an admirable sportsman with the patience to listen to a little boy’s thoughts 🤗

Elijah and Fatima are so funny and beautiful together. You can be sure that the photographs will not go over the edge. The author does not sleep so heavily 🤨😅

Masato is actually quite admirable. He is a romantic master vampire with fully developed sun tolerance. He could be quite an interesting character in another story. I have uploaded him in the gallery to save 😉

Elijah and Fatima have such wonderful chemistry. I love to shoot scenes with them. This time they surprised me and I just had to use those pictures for some fun. I think it’s quite fun to act out dialogues with my characters, even if it might be a bit silly.
Fatima is really gorgeous when you add a little make-up to her.

Don has a good heart. I’m quite fond of him, despite his somewhat notorious womanizing side. It makes him rather unpredictable at times 😅

Masato is excited at the prospect of a more fulfilling life 🤗
I have put him on my gallery #Masato.
If he can inspire you, that’s fine, but I have no expectations or preferences.
Thank you for your comment ❤

And here we see the lingering romance of Rasmus and Izumi’s wedding. Everyone seems to have some lingering longings, but how they tackle those longings differs greatly from person to person. Fatima and Elijah can keep the whole romance festival running just by themselves, no drinks required. Don is running from his feelings and tries to lose them with Eva, but Eva does not seem interested in helping Don as much as “helping” herself.
Marcus tries to guess Jade’s wants and as always seems just a little off – seems Jade wants glamour and luxury more than the inn that charmed Marcus. Oh! Luckily she accepted his proposal anyway 😄 I do hope those two can reach happiness together. Out of every couple in the story, somehow their foundation seems the most unstable.

Don and Fabio are so adorable together <3 it seems he doesn’t believe he’d be a good father, but I think he would be. Just… not with any of his casual women.

Bwahaha, I had to do a double-take when I saw the handcuffs, and the story getting interrupted and panning to you, the author, made me laugh. Lol and the warning to Elijah at the end 😆

Masato, ever trying to be in the spotlight 🤣 the poor guy just can’t stand not being an important

Anyway, this chapter is a lot of fun. I love your “forth wall breaking” scenes where the characters talk with the writer. Lol. Elijah and Fatima’s… uh… “antics” in the bedroom cracked me up. They are just too adorable together. Fatima sure seems to have gained a lot of self-confidence, at least as far as being flirty with Elijah goes.

Masato can come join my vampires any day.

Don seems like he’s got a good heart, he just needs to figure out what really matters to him.

That final picture of Fatima is GORGEOUS! I love her playful wink.
