OMG OMG OMG - Candy what the hell!? I want a look inside her head. My heart actually leaped up when I saw that bat in Valentine's hand, but it is a little early in the story for Rich to get any true deserts

Whoa, catching Val with Lana didn't destroy Mary's love tags? That's - wow. I've never had that happen. If the act didn't nuke the love immediately, the relationship always decays enough to do it within a few seconds, usually during the follow-up conversation. I don't have any romantic mods (except the one that fixes the failure to perceive make outs as cheating, which isn't really modding), so perhaps that's a difference there. It's great character stuff, though, that meek innate stubbornness and enormous untapped capacity for love combining to keep hold of him in spite of all the reasons to let go

My game is modded out the wazoo so I didn't even think about it but, yeah, it must've been because it was a casual interaction. Val and Lana are not in love; just barely, or possibly not at all, in lust (by which I mean I'm not sure if they've got the pink hearts). Their relationships with Mary took a hit, Lana's more so because it was already low, but no actual fury on her part. If I'm remembering correctly, that is. Same thing with Dixie when she caught David and Goldie together. She was largely unfazed after the fact, her relationship with David is great--recovered right away--but, again, she's no fan of Goldie's. Perhaps it's a family trait

It's saying something about your hood when you got to the Ottomai for a relief from drama! (My Strangetown Ottomai just had a birth during a fire. It was pretty intense.)
With Val and Rhett in the mix now somebody's going to have to produce some answers about Candy's baby for sure.
Dixie, um, Dixie lives in the now. Never mind that Rhett is her best friend's quasi-stepfather; in fact, it didn't even cross her mind. He was there. Pretty much the same rationale from his side.
Thank you so much! It's one thing to know what happened just because I played it but I am really pleased with how this one came together :-D
Oh yeah, the melodrama is strong around these parts. But Candy didn't just run off and say "hey Rich, I'm havin' your son's kid, probably--mean, I think, I know it's one of y'alls; let's get married!"
Those baby-making Harts start a lot of mess they can't always (ever?) extricate themselves from with grace. :-D
It's far from certain Baby Gray Eyes is even there. If Rich assumes, or got a test that confirms (and that might be awkward to get definitively right), that this baby was his grandson instead of his son, I don't trust him not to leave that cardboard box under a bridge and lie like a rug about what he did with him.

Poor Ottomas family having to follow this act. They won't be getting up to anything nearly so dramatic.

I still really, really want to know what's happened with Candy's baby! And Dixie, well, I can't really say I'm surprised.
I may have said it before, but gosh I love how you develop all the different relationships and characters :)
