Sunshine did not help.

When Maple got home, she had quite the visitor. Seeing him sitting in her living room scared the crap out of her. What had she done? The dream of her talking to her parents was not just a dream. How is her father sitting in her living room? He has been gone for some time now.

Maple hasn't touched her spellbook in over a year. She doesn't even keep photos up of her parents because she was afraid she'd raise them just from realizing how much she missed them.

Elijah went over to talk to one of his older brothers, Peyton. Their mom, Apple, was not doing well. She had been to the doctor and Apple assured Elijah that all was fine. He could tell she has been sad though. Since dad passed, Apple never has been the same. Elijah really wanted his siblings to come around more and at least visit her. Let her know that she is not forgotten. Of course, Peyton was the gentle and attentive ear that Elijah needed.

After hanging out all weekend, Elijah decided to get some things handled for the week. He cleaned up the house, gave Bright a sponge bath, and made a special area in memory of his parents (Enele and Apple). The kids made a plan to have a memorial at the house. Hopefully, everyone will show up and they can get together like they used to for family dinners. Elijah didn’t get to experience the family dinners because everyone was grown with kids by the time he was growing up.

Retirement Celebration for Apple

With a clear heart and mind, Apple was ready to celebrate her retirement. She reached the top of her career in botany and was so proud to see her children become successful sims.

Apple just had to indulge in one of her most favorite activities: cooking. They would always have family dinners when the kids were little and as they were growing up and now she is happy to share these moments with her grandkids.

In the midst of the celebration, she felt a little tug at her heart and she knew he was looking down on them.

Aren’t you a little old for my son?

Wow. Geena was floored!

Not sure of the backstory, but Geena already had a bad feeling towards Apple when saw her. She got an immediate tense moodlet and awkward conversation. She remembered Apple from somewhere. But, where?

Geena’s a police detective, so she meets new sims some of everywhere.

Geena believed in respecting her elders and would not dare answer Apple’s question with any of the upset she was feeling. She decided to wait until Apple was out of the room and talk to Elijah about being honest with his mom about her.
