Don't Ask 2.2: Why Men Have Big Feet

How can this be? It feels like she just aged to elder! I guess she just had a shorter elder-hood than Kyle because of the pregnancies, meaning the extended time as a mature adult bled into her elder time.

Meanwhile, I sell the old restaurant and have Freena open a new one, leaving this one much simpler in design. I think this'll work. Plus, she still has the perk points she can spend, and they get spent wisely on things like cheaper employee training.

Woo!

Freena gets back home, and this happens within minutes.

I sure hope my life doesn't depend upon Freena begging for it. But I guess dying of old age has its limitations.

And this supersedes Evelyn's embarrassment (from last chapter), btw. Now I have to make sure they don't all die of sadness, but it turns out okay.

Woo!

Freena: I'm not feeling very "woo!"

Sorry. :(

After this text, someone else calls Freena and asks her if she'd like to come over.

So, Freena gladly accepts the offer from Ciaran.

They sit and chat about things.

Freena: Hey. Wasn't that food just giving off rotten green smoke a second ago?

Ciaran: Yes, yes it was. The Maker is using the pictures in the wrong order.

Freena: Ah, that explains it. Although... I think I liked the hug picture better anyway.

Ciaran: Me too.

Their hugging moves to more meaningful hugs...in another room in the apartment.

Ciaran: I know another way to make you feel better.

Freena: What's that?

They move to the bed.

Freena: You have big feet.

Ciaran: That's a good thing.

Freena: Why?

Freena: Oh, that's why.

Later...

What are you doing?

Freena: I'm hungry. Ciaran is still asleep. When he wakes up, he'll be hungry.

I guess you would be a disappointment to foodies everywhere if you didn't make something to eat at your man's place.

Freena: Except I think there's something wrong with his stove. That didn't taste right.

Um... what's that thought bubble?

Freena: What thought bubble?

Coming up next!

Does that thought bubble have any special significance? (or is it a random thing to make me wonder--because I'm not allowed to do the preggers test!)

Is the next generation on the way?

What will Ciaran do if it is?
