They’ve reopened the tunnel in Crescent Lake that transports you to the temple. @amity206 correctly guessed they were likely fixing it so you wouldn’t get stuck on that edge inside the wall halfway through. Smooth sailing now.
Tessa Bradshaw was the third born of Charles and Elizabeth Bradshaw. The Bradshaw's had run the only law firm in Eldridge since the 80's. Keeping it a family business, the Bradshaw siblings were all expected to keep their grades up and then attend law school after graduation - Tessa however had a different plan for her life. Always the black sheep, she was disowned after blowing off college and following her high school sweetheart to L.A.
Shortly after their arrival, she fell pregnant. Six months after that, she lost their daughter. This caused Tessa to spiral, becoming a completely different person. Ultimately - her eleven year relationship with Rowan Fields ended shortly after their return to Eldridge. Beginning to rebuild herself a life alone, Tessa began working at Tequila as a bartender - though soon after ownership would be passed on to her - and turned what once was their shared apartment into her own personal art studio. It wasn’t long after her break up with Rowan that she reconnected with Sebastian Haites, the first boy she ever fell in love with.
After reaching out to him after years of not speaking, the two fell right back where they started - head over heels with one another.
Though neither of them planned it to be that way, they solidified a relationship very quickly - one simply cannot exist without the other. They moved in together before they were even official, cats and all. Being with him feels like home to her, the only ounce of true comfort that she has. After a few short months, Sebastian allowed her to design the home of her dreams to have built on the Haites Compound in Crescent Lake. Here they reside with Knox Haites. The three other houses on the 30 acre property belong to his mother, his sister, and Dalton and Adonia Harper.
Located near Dunhuang, Gansu Province, China, Crescent Lake is a captivating natural wonder hidden in the vast Gobi Desert. This oasis, known for its unique crescent shape, has served as a vital water source for centuries. The lake is thought to have formed in a valley carved by wind and be fed by an underground spring. Nearby mountains protect it from being smothered by the region's blowing sands. Conservation efforts have succeeded in making sure the lake doesn't go dry, preserving it in the ecosystem and as a tourist destination. Visitors can enjoy activities such as boating on the lake, camel rides through the surrounding sand dunes and see ancient Buddhist art and murals in the nearby Mogao Caves.
