...she liked. Never, not even in college, had she so much as gone on a date with another sim. Now Cale Nott had appeared seemingly out of nowhere to sweep her off her feet. They were inseparable. Rochell, having sworn off men forever, found it sickening. Ian just said, "Good for her," whenever the subject came up. Anabel just smiled, but it was so hard to tell what was going on in her head these...

...don't really, but we figured you'd like to see her. We invited Belva, too, but she can't make it. And thanks, again, for agreeing to be the DJ." "Hey, no problem. It'll be fun. You didn't, uh, invite Rochell, too, did you?" "Oh, um, no. I don't think she would want to come. You know. After what happened." "You mean after you let her believe you were going to ask her to marry you and then turned around...

Here's the Koepples - after Rochell moved back home, it's three single women and their widowed step-grandfather (who's only 10 or so years older than they are) under one roof. Back to the chess board. Sometimes Rochell thought she should have never left it. Everyone had said, "Oh, you can't just learn things and read books all day. You need companionship. You need a boyfriend." Well, no one...

...keeping the customers happy, and they nearly always were. That's not to say that things always ran smoothly... Jonathan also started a garden, where he raised some sickly looking tomatoes. Rochell stopped by one day, to Alvin's surprise. They hadn't spoken since he'd tried to warn her about Eli. She told him that she still didn't like him, but that she appreciated what he'd tried to do at...

... Eli had been trying to have this conversation for some time now, and he'd run out of wisecracks to avoid having it. "Fine. Go for it." "Well, we're almost ready to graduate, and I'm pretty sure Rochell is assuming I'm going to propose, but I really don't know if I want to marry her or not." "You two always seem happy to me," Alvin said. "You're always all over each other. It's kind of disgusting...

...to catch the flu that had been going around Winterfell. Her dad, Glen, came by to check up on her after she got sick. There was no sign of Eli, though. Shena knew he was busy at school and with Rochell, but it was hard adjusting to not seeing him. Still, Eli had said that he intended to rejoin the band once he was done with school, so Shena made sure she'd be ready for the day when they were...

Finishing up round 7! College gets kind of crazy here, with the freshmen (Eli, Rochell, and Alvin) all arriving during the senior year of Shena, Belva, and Nevada. College Life was pretty quiet for a while at the Greek House. Junior year came with an increased workload for the Winterfell girls, and Melanie was busy as she prepared to graduate. Even Nevada, who'd really never been that...

...energy and enthusiasm, Ian couldn't really complain. He was the one benefiting from her risque behavior, after all. That was one shopping trip he knew he'd never forget. Anabel and Rochell could only roll their eyes at their grandmother's antics. They were old enough to appreciate how much she'd sacrificed to raise them all on her own. It was strange for them to be the only two kids...

...he'd been understanding. He didn't want to put off the wedding, though, so soon everyone was going to know the truth behind the strange hours she'd been keeping lately. As it turned out though, Rochell was the only family member in attendance. The rest of the Koepples, Rochell explained, were sick and didn't want to spread their illness around. Amar didn't have any family to begin with. Standing...

...Tour. But Anabel threw everyone a curve ball by announcing that she wasn't going to college. She told Marilyn she didn't see the point, as she hated school. When Nevada and Belva had left, Rochell and Anabel were left as the two youngest members of the household. Rochell couldn't believe Anabel didn't want to go to college. "Don't you want to get out there and see something other than...
