Welcome back to another update of our legacy! Let's just jump right in!
In the last update, Rhea was finding comfort in her day-to-day life again. But, a part of her felt like it was still missing something.
Those feelings eventually sparked Rhea to prioritize herself a bit and go on a date with someone she matched with on Cupid's Corner. She wasn't so sure about dating a younger man, but she decided that there was nothing to lose (in a sense). So, she arranges for Charlie and Hugo to be taken care of and sets up a date with a man named Jeb Harris.
The date goes quite well! Jeb is a true gentleman and the conversation flowed easily. They enjoyed a meal together and got to know each other a bit. There was definitely some attraction there (okay, a lot) and they had pretty good chemistry too! Though it all went well, Jeb being a gentleman took things much slower than Rhea was used to. They parted with a simple hug. It was sweet, comfortable and romantic. Sure there was tension, sure she would have loved to kiss him. But she found herself content and even happy to have a slower pace with him.
The two of them kept chatting, getting to know each other as they could. With her busy schedule, it wasn't always easy to carve out the time so they spent some time between just over the phone. In the midst of all that, our little baby Annie aged up into an elder. Time really flies and her age showed with the whiteness in her coat.
A few days later, Jeb actually invited Rhea out on another date. It was another very sweet, comfortable date. They chatted easily, flirted innocently and things just felt ... comfortable. Rhea loved that she felt like she was safe whenever he was around and though her initial fear was a younger man being immature, she felt as though he was the most mature man she has met yet!
As the date progressed, Rhea and Jeb shared their first kiss. Rhea made the move as Jeb did have a bit of a shy side in terms of romance. He was a bit caught off guard, but in the end, it might have been the best kiss either of them had!
Despite things being slower in the beginning, the two of them did get a little out of hand after that. In fact, they ended up int he closet together, and well, things escalated quickly from there.
A couple days later, Rhea invited Jeb over (after both received a makeover) and asked him if he wanted to live with her. Yes, it was fast. But, Rhea was never one to hold back and she just knew Jeb was the man for her. More than she though Matt or even Robert ever could be. He excitedly agreed.
And after that, things *really* progressed! Jeb immediately proposed to her, stating that he had never felt something as strongly as this and that if they were to live together, he wanted it to be as husband and wife and for the rest of their lives. Though shocked, Rhea was ecstatic and, in true Rhea fashion, she decided they should just tie the not then and there. Why wait?
And with that, we welcome Jeb Levine to the family! His traits are good, outgoing, gloomy, relaxed and open-minded. Shortly after moving in with Rhea, he gained the loyal trait as well. He has the soulmate aspiration and feels as though that soulmate is most definitely Rhea. He didn't have a job when first moving in, but I decided to give him the celebrity manager career. He is a wonderful partner and step-father to the kids. And honestly, the only father figure Hugo has known. Only time will tell though if Rhea decides to let her eyes wander once again, or if Jeb truly is the one she has been searching for all along.
The next post will be a house reno and be posted shortly after this, so go check that one out too!
