Gregory lay in his bed listening to the rain on the farmhouse roof - his farmhouse roof! He owned the orchard now. No more orders from Julio Allermann - his well meaning father. He actually pulled it off! He couldn't believe he had actually pulled it off. To be fair, it wasn't torture. Thariem was easy to love. He smiled when he thought of how conflicted he had been. He wanted to get engaged and married to her, but he also feared it at the same time.

Asking his father for funds was easy. Julio was a family oriented sim at heart and he was elated at the news of Gregory wanting to marry and settle down. He was a sly, clever fox - even if he had to say so himself. He invited Thariem over and waited for his father to answer the door. He knew that her friendly, warm personality would win good old Julio over in no time. He casually strolled down the stairs, ring in his pocket and could hear them chatter about the chilly weather and a soup recipe to chase the cold away. A phone call interrupted their chat and after taking the call Julio excused himself giving the two of the an approving smile and a pat of Gregory's shoulder - "Don't hurt her son, she's a keeper".

Gregory dropped to one knee and made her the happiest he had ever seen her. He gave a satisfied grin at the thought of the expression on her face at that very moment. He had to admit, it was wonderful being loved and adored the way she did him.
