Missed

Round 12: Days 55-60

Last update/next update

Not unlike his cousin Arianna, Adam had been left behind in Exeter by his twin sister Hanna.



Quite unlike Arianna though, Adam was lucky enough to be hired in the career of his choice straight out of high school. He had dreams of one day hosting his own cooking show but for now, Fast Food Shift Manager would do.

As a Pleasure Sim though, the one thing he really liked about his job was days off. In the middle of the week! It gave him lots of time to hang out at the juice bar and teach his cousin Leo what the ladies like.

Adam didn't really have much luck with girls himself though, so let's hope Leo took his advice with a grain of salt.

Adam had shared his troubles with his dad. Sports-mad Isaac insisted Adam's misfortune was due entirely to his pot belly and he insisted his son join him for a game of basketball.

Basketball definitely wasn't Adam's game but Isaac, despite being in his early 50s, was quite skillful and had soon attracted a small audience.

Adam, meanwhile, felt like his muscles were firmer already.

Isaac was positive his son's new physique would help out his reputation in no time.

When the boys arrived back at home, they were greeted by Hanna, who Petra had invited for dinner. She'd invited Augustin too but he declined.

Who could blame him? The very second Adam said Augustin's name, Isaac excused himself from the table and went to watch television. He was still not thrilled about his daughter becoming a mother while still in college.

Adam was promoted to Waiter late this week. It meant there wasn't as much time to hang around downtown in the afternoon and evening so he usually had breakfast somewhere in Exeter in the morning. On this particular morning, he met Sydney.

They went inside and ate a meal. Adam discovered he liked Sydney but she clearly wasn't the girl for him. She never wanted to marry, for one thing and Adam wanted to leave that possibility open.

He did kiss her goodbye though.

Which may have given her the wrong idea.

Alyson Queen (the same woman his father was having an affair with) came home from work with him on Thursday night and quickly put a stop to any sort of romantic ideas Adam had. On his father's recommendation, Adam had lost the gut but was still striking out with girls.

Mini-Araminta update:

Those silly Family Sims! Perhaps it's just idle daydreaming but I don't think the Sullivan Adoption Agency allows teenagers to adopt children!

She's getting rather popular with the boys though!

But she refuses to go out with just anybody!

Randomness:
This is how much Petra cares about Isaac's affairs. I thought maybe she'd care a little (he did this autonomously) because her secondary aspiration is Family but nope. She's too busy on the computer to care.

Notes:

• Collette = Win. She's got that engagement ring on her finger and she's not going to allow random 18 year-olds to feel her up outside juice bars!
• Poor Adam! I don't know who he'll end up with! The only possibility on the horizon is Athena but she has her eye on Filippo. When she goes to college, I'll see who she matches up with better.
