Make you feel my love

Round 14: Spring 2022


Toby Parker is 30, Erin Fielding is 27 and Iona is 10.
(Nyah is 36, Alexa is 30, Niall is 27 and Liv is 24.)

Narrated by Erin Fielding.

Toby moved in with me and Iona about a year ago and it's been going really great. It was a bit strange at first because I had gotten so used to living alone with Iona but I wouldn't have it any other way now. Iona's excited to have her favorite chess partner living with us all the time.

She's become such a big girl. I rarely have to supervise her homework, she usually does most of it before I even come home from work. I hope she continues to be that way when she starts high school in a couple of years.

I'm already horrified at the thought of my little girl going to high school. I feel like she's still a baby but she's not. She still likes to hear a bedtime story every now and then but not as often as she used to. And she's always on the phone with one of her friends.

I hadn't seen Liv for weeks because our schedules never seem to match. I invited her over for dinner to hear what's going on in her life. She seemed pretty happy on the phone and when she came to our apartment I understood why.

She brought Niall with her. She told me that they got officially back together a few weeks ago although they've been seeing each other on and off since last autumn. I don't understand how she could take him back but I just bit my lip and didn't say anything. Toby and Niall are friends but Toby said he didn't know anything about them either.

As much as I'd like to hate Niall I have to admit that he's fun. And he genuinely seems to care about Liv. I just hope he treats her better this time.

We talked about the upcoming bachelorette and bachelor parties. My friends are taking me to Merry-Go-Round and Toby's party will be held at The Four Leaf Clover.

"I'd better not hear there have been strippers in that party" Liv said to Niall and gave him a knowing look. He just grinned and said that they're just gonna shoot some pool and have a couple of beers.

Iona went to a sleepover at Mom and dad's so that we could have our parties on the same night. Malia couldn't make it and Lilly isn't allowed in the night club yet so it was me, Liv, Nyah and Alexa.

We started off by having dinner and some champagne. Liv had worried that it would be a boring party with two married women in our gang but I had fun from the beginning to the end.

After finishing our dinner we went to the 3rd floor bar. I wasn't going to get drunk but the girls kept ordering a new drink as soon as I had finished one.

I haven't been out partying for a long time so it was really nice to unwind and have fun with my friends.

We went out to the balcony to get some fresh air and so that Liv could smoke. Alexa asked if Toby and I would start a family right after the wedding but I didn't have an answer. We actually haven't talked about it yet. We decided that we would concentrate on the wedding and talk about baby stuff afterwards. We both want kids but we need to move into a bigger apartment before we can even start planning an addition to our family.

We spent the rest of the night on the dance floor. It was almost dawn when I got back home.

I was still quite tipsy and feeling very amorous so it was nice to see that Toby was already home. I can't wait for us to get married.

Notes:

• Title reference: Make you feel my love by Adele.
• I haven't made any plans about the wedding yet! I haven't even decided on the venue yet but I have a few updates before the wedding so I have some time to decide what to do.
• Erin, Toby and Iona will move to a bigger apartment as soon as I build one. Their current apartment is quite small and also I think the lot has become buggy. I wonder if apartment lots get buggy after a while because I've been having problems with all my apartments lately. I had several crashes during this session but I rarely have crashes on residential lots anymore.
• Liv and Niall got back together all by themselves. They both live in the same building with Brooke and Charlie and I saw them making out when I was playing B & C. I thought that since they want to be together then who am I to stop them?! Their reunion just didn't fit into any previous updates so I decided to "announce" it now.
