Rosemere Hall: When love turns into leaving

The tiny home felt even smaller now JJ was one year old. His toys ere everywhere and his laughter was often replaced by exhausting wails.

Ceci loved him fiercely, but she was tired, bone tired.

She hadn't slept a full night since ... well, since before he was born.

Jamie hadn't slept either, but for other reasons. He hardly worked anymore and when he did pick up a job, he spent half the money at the bar with his friends. "I deserve break" he always said.

Every night she was up with baby who cried and Jamie would roll over and mutter "Just make him stop"

Ceci tried...

Rosemere Hall - A Rotational Save

These are the Pembrokes, Charles and Catherine Pembroke. They are one of the original founding families of Willow Creek and will remind everyone about that fact. Charles Pembroke is CEO of a big real estate company that controls most of Willow Creek, from restaurants, to retail shops, to the city park and everything in between. Catherine is a housewife, she supports everything Charles does and organizes the parties to do the necessary socializing to enhance their family further. Together they have 4 daughters and needless to say, they expect a lot of them. They have to do their duty for the family and nothing less then perfection will be tolerated.

This is Beatrice Pembroke, better know as Bibi in the family. She is the eldest and she strives to be the perfect daughter. She knows she is expected to take over the family business one day and she will do everything in her power to make no mistakes! She is currently almost 18, ready to graduate and go to university. She will be following the Boba Tea Tales Legacy, made by @malixacc

This is our second girl, Cecilia or Ceci Pembroke. She is just a sweetheart, she sees only good in people and breezes through live without a care in the world. At just 16 she is ready to embrace everything coming her way With Ceci we will be exploring the Just Desserts Legacy by @clumsyromantic

Our third girl, Arabella Pembroke or Bells is just 13. You can always find her buried in some book and she dreams of her prince on a white horse to come and sweep her of her feet, just like in the books she loves so much. Bells will follow the Struck By Love Legacy by @fruitysimsy and @hellohopesims

And then there is little Tilly, Matilda Pembroke, the youngest daughter. She is 9 at the moment and she is completely wild, her energy has no boundaries and her parents fear they wont be able to control this crazy girl This girl, although still very young now will have a lot of drama as she will be the first gen of the Hot Tea Legacy by the wonderful storyteller @lxdice

We will follow all four during their lives, of course at the start I will be playing more with the older girls before we start with the younger ones.

I have also added two new legacies in this rotational gameplay

Sybille Fletcher is the local farmer living on the same land for generations, she is the heir of the lucid legacy by @luciidsimmer

Rosemere Hall: The child we waited for

So like always when life became overwhelming Vivienne escaped to the mountains, we she felt she could breathe and leave all her worries behind.

During the day they skied till their muscles burned and at night they sat wrapped together in blankets besides the fire place.

One evening when snow covered everything in silence they had visited the hot springs and suddenly noticed their was only them left. Steam curled around them as Vivienne laid her head on his chest. The didn't speak about work or pressure or negative tests. It was just the two of them together beneath the stars and the snow

Rosemere Hall: We chose each other

An official photograph was released, polished, composed, exactly what the public expected from 2 people so visible in their respective worlds. It was shared wildly, commented on endlessly.

But the real moment had been the one no one saw

Rosemere Hall: Higher ground

Vivienne didn't call Julian after that night. Not once.

She heard, eventually, that Bells had left him. That the house was empty. That the marriage everyone had treated like a certainty had finally broken apart. His name appeared on her phone more than once after that, missed calls she let ring out while she stared at the screen, jaw tight, heart aching in ways she refused to indulge.

She wouldn't be a second choice. Not to anyone.

Rosemere Hall: Bell's birthday

Bell's turned 18 in a room full of light. Every inch the daughter her parents had raised her to be.

Julian didn't wait long. As the cake was cleared and glasses refilled he took her hand and led her to the center of the room. The music softened, conversations stilled.

"Bells" he said "from the moment I met you I knew you are extraordinary. Will you marry me?"

Gasps rippled through the crowd.

Bells smiled 'Yes, yes, I will!"

Rosemere Hall: When the world breaks open

Ceci and Jamie had gotten too comfortable, too confident.

For weeks she and Jamie had been sneaking moments together, thinking they were careful.

But one night everything fell apart. Her mother pushed open the bedroom door without knocking.

"Cecilia, have you ..." She stopped.

Mrs Pembroke's face drained of color.

"Get.Out" She said in a voice so sharp it cut the air. "Get out of my house now!"

"What were you thinking?" She hissed. "Sneaking in that boy? Into your bedroom? Under our roof?"

Ceci opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Her father appeared in the doorway, confused only for a moment until he saw the state of things.

"Cecilia" he said slowly "This ends. Tonight. You will not see him again. Do you understand me?"

"But..."

"No. Never. Again"

Ceci pressed her lips together, tears burning behind her eyes. Something inside her hardened. They didn't understand, they never had.

Rosemere Hall: The heart knows

Bells wiped her eyes "But what if people judge me?" "They will" Julian said honestly "They judged me too. Bells, you deserve happiness" "But what is this is a mistake?" Julian smiled softly "The it will be your mistake to make." He paused "For what it is worth, I haven't seen you smile this much this in years" Julian pulled her into a hug "Life is short" he said quietly "Grab happiness when you find it"
