After work the next day, Jaela decides to visit her new friend Simis. Just because he’s not a romantic interest anymore doesn’t mean she can’t still take advantage of him.

Simis isn’t home, but his teenaged son Michael is. Jaela chats with him for a bit then, as an act of courtesy she’ll soon learn to stop doing, invites him over to her place. He accepts, surprisingly, and soon they’re standing in her, uh, yard, feeling a bit awkward. Michael chooses that moment to announce his birthday, and so Jaela spends the rest of her latest paycheck on a birthday cake. (I love how proud Michael looks.)

The party location leaves a lot to be desired, but Michael is very polite and doesn’t even complain too much about having to sit on the toilet to eat his cake.

I mentioned that Jaela spent the last of her paycheck on a birthday cake. The rest of it she spent on an old black and white T.V.
It was the best investment of her life so far, although it did lead to some time management issues.

After work, Jaela was feeling pretty stressed, but luckily the best form of stress management came along.

His name was Xander Clavell, and as far as Jaela was concerned his personality didn’t matter- he was single, attractive, and what else do you need?
The only problem with her plan was that Xander is afraid of commitment. After a few attempts to establish any kind of deeper connection with him, she was forced to awkwardly say good bye and wander off, still unfulfilled in her desire to find a husband. Her fun bar, however, had filled up.
That day’s paycheck went towards creating a bathroom that was actually a separate room. Unfortunately, it didn’t go quite far enough, which was probably for the best anyways, as Jaela wouldn’t have been able to afford a door.

The next day after work, in a style she was getting used to, she met a young attractive man on the steps to City Hall.

This one, however, was different. He introduced himself as Connor Frio, and they hit it off immediately. However, he had a girlfriend, River McIrish, so Jaela didn’t dare to make a move on him. She was just established in this town, she couldn’t afford to have an enemy!
A few days later, Jaela had secured enough funds to build an actual enclosed bedroom/bathroom, and felt confident enough in her position in life to invite Connor over. As they sat, enjoying their separate activities, Jaela realized that this might really be the man for her.

She invited him to stay the night, and the next day asked him to leave his girlfriend. (After all, what could little River have to offer that could possibly be better than what Jaela had? Other than an actual house, that is.)

His answer was, of course, yes.
And a few hours later, she asked him a different question.
