Everyone was getting familiar with each other.
Todd had to do make up homework as he was not doing so well in school. But chimed in every now and then. Gardenia was on a roll though.
And as she gabbed, she realized she was truly happy and done with her aspiration. Good, loving people around her to spend time and exchange stories with.
She herself had loved and lost but it seemed like her son was doing better. Finally doing homework and having a lady friend move in too. What does the future hold for the young ones?

Well, Kylli was really into writing right now.
Another gig. She thought of doing something different. But it was a clickbate article. Boo!
She took it easy with this one. Even had time to chat with Todd. And he was doing his homework again! Good boy! Kylli was clearly a good influence.
So, this was her wacky clickbate article.

Gardenia must have read it. Cause she got on it with Micah at the back of the house.

So yes, the house needed badly to be built. Especially on the outside. But there was not much time. Everyone was busy. Gardenia was either working or with Micah out on a date or just an outing somewhere. Todd was at school and he didn't even care about this holiday and Kylli was more interested in writing.
And it paid off too!
She booked another gig.
She tried to do something a bit more serious now.

Todd was being successful too.
It was the prank he had planned with Eddie a while back. So... yay?

Kylli again. She was always home, that's what it is. She was writing her work things when the laptop broke. Had Gardenia been home she would have fixed it but she was at work that day. As the repairwoman fixed her laptop, Kylli tried to help out Todd a little in the garden by trimming and shaping the bonzai tree. And she really liked it!
Oh and as she wasthe only grown up at home...
Wow, that moment when you, as a grown up, have to answer to authorities for your teen love interest when he gets in trouble in school.

Later that day, Kylli got to collect some honey from the bees. What an exciting day! Hopefully Todd will not come home in a bad mood again or go into some miserable phase.

Kylli got to finish her spell checking, proof reading assignment too.
Woo! She's on fire!

Time to enjoy that honey now! Gardenia got home too. And the mail came. Bills. 1389 simos for the first week of summer in Strangerville. Oh and Gardenia reached the top of her massage therapist career. Phew, what a long journey. With her aspiration and her career too. So much achievement!
