So it was time to win Alissa's heart. They went out dine out.
Unfortunately Alissa was sad about something Bryon had done.
The atmosphere was flirty. But Alissa was still feeling sad so any kind of flirty interaction from Bryon fell flat. Also Kasey was at the place, witnessing everything.
Bryon later invited Kasey over to patch things up. She too was feeling sad.

And for the nth time bryon was abducted again.

Alissa wanted a little makeover. She got one but she thought she had gained weight and nothing looked good on her. So she started taking it more seriously to lose weight.
The dirty "before" body.
She had been working hard on her handiness skill but there came a time when reading books just wasn't doing it anymore. She had to start actually practicing the handiness skill. So she got crafting and upgrading stuff.

One evening Bryon got a call from Kasey. She asked him out on a date. He agreed to go out with her but not for the reason she thought.
Bryon ended the relationship. But like the grown ups they are, they finished their dinner together.
Luckily Bryon wasn't too sad about the break up, leaving him only sad for a few hours.

Alissa maxed out her handiness skill. That means it's time to explore the hidden worlds. She needed to take care of her needs first though. Reading books and fixing things on your own left her needing communication. Bryon added her inot the Goldsmith Gang but no gathering took place just yet.
So this happened out of the blue. Alissa couldn't even remember meeting Ali Dowling before. (She's Bryon's co-worker)
A friendly hug.
