DESCRIPTION

Lila was a city girl, born and raised, and developed a passion for art and a desire for adventure early-on. In her early twenties, she moved to Blue Harbor, Illinois, where she met Robert Young at a summer fair. Their romance blossomed quickly, leading to a loving marriage. Despite their different backgrounds they initially balanced each other well. The birth of their daughter, Dahlia, further strengthened their bond.

As the responsibilities of marriage and parenthood set in, Lila began feeling confined by small-town life, longing for the excitement of the city to pursue her artistic dreams. This led to increasing arguments with Robert, who cherished their stable, community-oriented life. When Dahlia was five, Lila reached her breaking point and left to find herself, leaving Robert devastated and Dahlia feeling abandoned. Robert did his best to provide a stable upbringing for Dahlia, but the emotional void left by Lila's absence deeply affected their family.

Years later, Lila, now living in Chicago, reached out to Dahlia in an attempt to reconnect and rebuild their relationship. The reunion was tentative and fraught with unresolved emotions, but it marked the beginning of a slow, cautious process of reconciliation.

DESCRIPTION

Dahlia and Liam meet in a photography class her sophomore year of college. Lia was drawn to Liam's passion for photography. The two went on their first date to an art gallery, bonding over their mutual love for creativity and artistic expression. 

Their relationship became pretty serious, very quickly. They would take weekend trips to explore the city and nearby towns' art scenes and nature, documenting their adventures together with Liam's camera. When they started dating, Lia's self-esteem wasn't the greatest, but with Liam's support and encouragement, Lia came to embrace her individuality, and really explore a bunch of different music genres, open mics, and subbing in as a guitarist for bands that needed a temporary member. Likewise, Lia supported all of Liam's photography endeavors and would even provide music for his photo exhibitions.

Her senior year of college, Dahlia and Liam started discussing their future together and dreams of traveling the world together, combining their passions.

The stress of final projects and job applications took its toll on their relationship and they had their first major argument about their post-graduation plans when Liam was offered the opportunity to intern with a renowned photographer in Europe. Lia was torn between her desire to support him and her selfish wish for him to stay. She couldn't drop everything to follow him to Europe either, so she sent him off with a weary smile.

They tried a long-distance relationship for a time (less than a year), but the time difference and distance (physical and emotional) was too much for them to overcome. Liam was the one to actually ask to breakup as Lia (while knowing things weren't working anymore) was unwilling to quit. The breakup was terribly painful, and brought up a lot of old woulds of abandonment for Dahlia.

Shortly after their breakup, Dahlia decided to move back home and hasn't really kept in touch with Liam. She still has a mix of hurt and resentment when she thinks of him, but Lia considers Liam to be "the one that got away." Reasons why he's in Blue Harbor can be totally up to player, and we can always flesh that out!
