Despite my many requests to do anything but go on dates (yeah, right), Helena wanted nothing more than to see her man again. Part of me doesn't blame her; I mean, who doesn't love a blonde bun and floral button up combo?


Oh. Okay. Moving things right along, aren't we? I'm not sure if it's a great sign that Erick's eyes are still open, though. Then again, maybe he just wants to take in all of Helena's beauty.


Yup, definitely getting a closer look. I can't believe your luck either, buddy.


Helena: Wanna see something really hot?


Erm, maybe not the most conventional flirtation method but Erick is a complete fitness fan so, hey, at least Helena knows how to read a room.


And it totally worked.


This is solely a result of me wanting to simultaneously use every piece of CC I have downloaded. It's a lot.


When she's not wooing Erick, Helena likes to treat her dog to only the best homemade food. Look at that impeccable plating. Is the next season of Chopped casting in Newcrest yet?


Another day, another date. These two just can't keep away from each other. And despite the ring on his finger, Erick is definitely not married and in it for the long haul with our girl.


It's probably not very productive to leave work all the time to see your girlfriend but, hey, if Erick is willing to make that sacrifice...

Erick: Honey, are you going to make a move or just snuggle with Chester?


Erick: All right, I guess that means I win then.


It's not looking like Chester is the best at learning tricks, though.

Really, I just forget that teaching dogs tricks is a thing. I'm still getting used to how pets are played in this game. I keep missing little thought bubbles and then have to do a bunch of things to figure out why they look so sad. Do you want a walk? A pet? A bath? More food even though there is a bunch in your bowl? Just let me click on them and look at their needs, game!


Helena: If it's what you're into, sure, I'll give you a shoulder rub while that Goth girl looks on creepily.


Okay, so... That shoulder massage quickly turned into something else: a sleepover. This is all moving so quickly I'm just not sure what to do.


Kind of weird that Helena is keeping her slippers on but we all have our preferences.



Helena: Um, yeah, listen. Last night was magical. We both want the same things, right? Happily ever after, lots of kids, big family? What better time than the present?

Me: Screw good buildup, I'm ready to bring on the babies!


Look at that bling! I'm not sure how she afforded that but, okay, I'll play along.


Erick: Ooh, shiny.


I guess he said yes.


Aaaaand it's another date night - on Love Day, no less. Helena brought a gift with her this time around and Erick decided to let his hair down for the event.


Another shoulder massage, eh? Erick definitely has a... kink.

Get it?


In between being busy painting and proposing and rubbing shoulders, Helena managed to put up a few strings of lights to celebrate the day.


I promise she doesn't totally hate being pregnant, despite what this face would suggest. Slightly annoyed that she has to have her wedding dress let out, sure, but this is what she has wanted since the start. Also for Chester to stop squeaking that damn toy before she throws it out with the trash.

Also, are the bellies in this game ridiculously huge or what? Poor girl already looks full term!

Next time: Wedding bells are ringing and, oh no, are those storm clouds?
