Nobody had figured out who it was that egged the house downtown, especially not her parents.. and even if they had, they would've been kind enough to forgive her for it this one time.. even though they both had experience from the prison system, they believed more in rehabilitation than strict punishment and that everyone (mostly...) would be deserving of a second chance. Compared to some of the cases they knew about, egging someones house was pretty much as innocent as it got, and if they had known about it, she would have been let off the hook with no more than a warning..
Pia was now no
longer directly employed by the prison system, but was still heavily
involved with it, in both treating and rehabilitating the inmates as
a part of the process to prepare them for a continued life on the
outside.. and she was herself getting a little impatient about her
own career progress and how long it had been since her last
promotion...
Fredrik had a day off from the office today, and wanted to spend it wisely hanging out downtown maintaining his contact and popularity with the local population. He thought both things were important as both the towns mayor and as a prison warden, to be visible and to know what moves around town...
Speaking of politics,
his colleague at the town hall, Ingrid Kråkesen-Karlsen had finally
been promoted to ballot counter after having been polishing the
podiums for four years now... Congratulations. ;)
Margrethes class had
just been on an excursion at the theatre and Margrethe was now
weighing her options in regards to her future career with her mom..
she had great fun at the theatre and got to try many different
instruments, and she now wondered whether she should pursue a career
in music, or if she should continue to practice painting? Or maybe
she should do like her half-brother and go to university and become a
scientist?
Or should she do like
her mom and become a doctor? Pia would no doubt be very enthusiastic
if her daughter would choose that path, but she would not force her
to do it.. ;)
..but she had to chip in that few things were as rewarding in life as being successfully able to rehabilitate a former criminal, or even better, just keeping people away from pursuing a life of crime in total...
Margrethe had called
Robert Bråge to go out on a date earlier, which he had declined,
saying he was unsure if he could leave work. He had still declined
her once more when she called him after his work hours, which made
her have some concerns about their relationship.. She called him up
once more later in the evening, because she had to atleast talk to
him.. She was starting to worry now that some rumours might be
spreading about her behaviour during the past days, and that this was
why he didn't appear to want to hang out with him anymore...
She had to relieve
her conscience afterwards by donating some money to people with
Simlish as a second language, as well as doing a few more chores
around the house..
This was definately bad news! If he knew about it, then surely Robert must also know! She didn't know if it would be a good idea or not, but she quickly sent him another message to apologize for any rumour he might have heard.. Her parents had, afterall, taught her to be honest and not a liar, so what could she do, other than to admit guilt and try to make the best of the situation..
She received no reply, and she was tempted to send him another message again, because she really hoped he would be able to forgive her for what she had done..
Anfinn put two and
two together and understood what the little girl was doing, and
adviced her to give it some time. There was no guarantuee that Robert
would accept her apology, but he told her that it in this situation
it was best not to put to much pressure on him and let him make the
decision on what he wanted to do next...
She hoped to hear
from him before the upcoming christmas party, or she was worried it
would be awkward.. what if he wanted to break up with her instead..?
On christmas eve.. in front of everyone in her family? That would
definately have been the worst christmas EVER... It would've been so
embarassing..
Oh well, be that as it may.. but.. still... let's hope for the best.. Good night.. ;)
