Heart-to-Heart
Victor: I caught a wild Caroline, the most beautiful and elusive creature on the beach!
Caroline: *snorting*
Victor: Are you trying not to laugh?
Caroline: Yeah.
Victor: Why? You should laugh at funny things.
Caroline: You're the funniest thing I know, Victor.
Victor: Thanks for the compliment. I'll take it.
Caroline: *giggling* Why can't all grownups be as silly as you?
Victor: Oh, you know... some other grownup probably told them a long time ago that it's not okay for grownups to be silly. Luckily, Nanna Grace forgot to mention that to me, so what you see is what you get. World's silliest grownup.
Caroline: Are you ever going to say that to me?
Victor: What do you think? Do you think a grownup as silly as me would ever tell you it's not okay to be silly when you grow up?
Caroline: No.
Victor: That's right. What I am going to tell you is that it's important to learn when you can be silly and when you have to take things seriously. You know how Yuri and I are teaching you about responsibility?
Caroline: Yeah, like how I have to feed Pirate Cookie every day and work on her obedience, and make my bed and brush my teeth every day?
Victor: Exactly. When you're training Pirate Cookie, is that a time to be silly?
Caroline: No, because she might get confused. She might think it's play time instead of learning time.
Victor: Right. But after training, then the two of you can be silly, can't you?
Caroline: Yeah.
Victor: That's what It's like for me, too. I have to take it seriously when I'm looking after my patients or driving or making dentist and eye doctor appointments for you, but there's still plenty of room for silly time.
Caroline: I like silly time.
Victor: Me too. Now, what do you say to washing some of the sand off and then getting something to eat?
Caroline: Can you carry me up to the house on your back?
Victor: Sure, if you want.
Caroline: Yes, please.
Victor: After we wash off, you can check on Yuri. If he's still working you can tell him that I said to stop. I'm going to look in on the patients really quickly and make sure they're okay before Miss Poet leaves and Miss Leilani gets here to stay the night with them. Then we'll grill some burgers, okay?
Caroline: Okay!
Victor: How's this?
Caroline: This is one of my favourite things.
Victor: I'm glad, 'cause it's one of my favourite things too.
Caroline: You know what's my favouritest favourite thing of all?
Victor: What is it?
Caroline: That you adopted me and I get to be your kid forever and ever. That I got to pick my own name, and you let me keep 'Caroline' even though it was the name of somebody you already loved a lot.
Victor: I love you a lot, and one of my favouritest favourite things is that you thought 'Caroline' was a good enough name to want to keep. I think your Auntie Caroline would've been proud to share it with you.
Caroline: Really?
Victor: Yeah. She didn't get a chance to grow up, but I think if she did, she would've loved to see how well you're growing up too, and I think she'd be very pleased.
Caroline: I wish I could've met her.
Victor: I wish I could've met your biological dad.
Caroline: Maybe... maybe wherever they are, they're together. Maybe he's looking after her just like you're looking after me. Sometimes it's sad to think about Papa because he went away forever, but... but I kinda feel better when I imagine that's what he's doing.
Victor: You know what? I like that. It makes me feel better too.
Caroline: I think they're up in the stars. That's why I'm not scared of the dark, 'cause when it's dark, the stars come out and I can look for Papa's.
Victor: Which one is his?
Caroline: I don't know what it's called, but it's the brightest one I can see. He had to make it really bright for me so I can find him, because he knows I can't see like everyone else.
Victor: I think he must love you very much, to have thought of that.
Caroline: I love him very much. Sometimes I tell that to the star. Do you think that's okay?
Victor: I think it's more than okay. I think it's the most wonderful thing I've heard in a long time, and I hope you'll never stop wanting to tell his star how you feel, so he never forgets how much you love him.
Caroline: I love you and Yuri too.
Victor: You're allowed to love as many people as you want. That's the great thing about hearts, you know. They grow to whatever size they need to grow, so you can fit in as much love as you want, and they don't shrink back when somebody you love goes away. You can keep that space for them in your heart forever.
Caroline: I like that. Do you keep space in your heart for the other Caroline?
Victor: Yes, and for Dad and Grandma Lydia.
Caroline: I'm gonna keep a space for Papa.
Victor: I know you will. He's a very special person, and he deserves to be remembered, and there's absolutely no one better than you to remember him and keep a space for him in your heart.

You're sure enjoying yourself. Don't you think you've had enough?
LAURIE ALAIRE
You're burning
CAROLINE D'ALAIRE
Shit.
CAROLINE D'ALAIRE
[exasperated] You look like you've been hit by a truck.
CAROLINE D'ALAIRE
Why are you here, Laurie?
CAROLINE D'ALAIRE
I've made it clear that I don't want to see your face.
LAURIE ALAIRE
Look, Caroline. I'm sorry. I think I had too much to drink at the party. If I hadn't that wouldn't have ever happened!
CAROLINE D'ALAIRE
You've got to stop blaming your mistakes on other things, Laurie. You've got to take accountability.
CAROLINE D'ALAIRE
I only asked for no drama! And you couldn't even hold it together for an hour.

CAROLINE D'ALAIRE
I'm not the only one you should apologize to.

LAURIE ALAIRE
God, she was?
CAROLINE D'ALAIRE
Of course, she loves us Laurie. And I'm sure she feels a bit responsible for it too. That's just the kind of person she is.
CAROLINE D'ALAIRE
You don't understand that your actions affect the people around you too. Apologize to her too.
LAURIE ALAIRE
Sighs Alright.

GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
…
LAURIE ALAIRE
You look radiant as ever, sel.
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
Laurie, we shouldn't be talking.
LAURIE ALAIRE
But-
16
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
No seriously, Lance! You've got more than one reason why you shouldn't be doing this!
LAURIE ALAIRE
And you've got none?
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
… I didn't say that. I won't do this with you, it's not-
Laurie Kisses her, she pushes against it after a bit. Resting her head on his chest.
LAURIE ALAIRE
I've just… I miss what we had. Can't we try?
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
I can't- say no to you.

It looks like Lilly is ahead of him in everything. In the blink of an eye, she has totally stolen Daisy's attention.
In order to regain that attention, Pat orders a pizza; Daisy served it to him and went back to her work as if it was nothing. Oh, well, at least he and Jun will have pizza.
Meanwhile, outside Eugi's, it is still raining cats and dogs. 🌧️☔
Note: You may have noticed that in the parking lot there is only Patrick's car, and inside the bar there are not many sims. This was before installing the @lazyduchess Lot Population mod, which I am currently testing in Starlight Shores. I must say it works beautifully. 🥰

The Willoughby Family Album: Volume III
Oops! I had completely forgot to post an update for the Willoughbys.
Maybe by way of consolation for the alarming skin affliction that they see in the mirror...
Louisa is developing a rather unhealthy "juice" habit.
John is doing splendidly at work, although his health is suffering at the moment.
And as always, he has plenty of time for his kids.
However, his wife Caroline has by no means forgiven him for humiliating her so publicly!
And it's all just too much for poor Louisa, to see their parents at each other's throats.
John is banished to the sofa - which won't do his health any good at all.
And, Caroline has no qualms about giving her husband a taste of his own medicine, with old flame Henry.
