After Jack and Clara gather things to return to the farm, Jack asks Clara for one last walk in the city before they leave to catch their train. Jack Hesitates, his hands in his pockets and he is quieter than normal.
This may be the last post for awhile guys. #ClaraWeldon#sims4#TheSims4
It’s quieter now — the group has gathered together, Clara catching up with her friends. Jack flips through an old photography book nearby, giving them space. #ClaraWeldon#sims4#TheSims4
Clara and Jack walk up to a lively table where Jasmine, Talia, and Noah are already sipping mimosas. They erupt when they see Clara, hugs flying. Then they spot Jack. #ClaraWeldon#sims4#TheSims4
Clara and Jack lay together in bed, ending what is supposed to be the final day they are in the city. However, they're not quite ready to return to the responsibility of the farm, and Clara has more to show Jack. #ClaraWeldon#TheSims4
Clara and Jack take a day to themselves to decompress a little. The city noise and life still a bit overwhelming but starting to become a bit familiar to them. #ClaraWeldon#TheSims4
A few days later, Jack in in the kitchen, assisting Paul with some cabinet fixes while Margot and Clara have coffee in the dining area. Margot, taking the time to interrogate Clara a bit more about her choice. #ClaraWeldon#TheSims4
Ethan did not leave his old room for the whole first day Clara and Jack had arrived. The next morning though, Clara finds Ethan sunk low into the couch, watching an old action movie on the TV. #ClaraWeldon#TheSims4
Before long, Clara and Jack make their way to San Myshuno. The elevator ride feels long. Jack fidgets with his hat in his hands as Clara smooths her shirt. When the door opens, Margot is already waiting, stylish and sharp-eyed. #ClaraWeldon#TheSims4
Clara and Jack decided to take an easy day from the farm to stay inside and watch a few movies when Clara's phone begins to ring. Margot, of course. The name alone makes her stomach tighten a little. #ClaraWeldon#sims4
Clara and Jack work together, putting out a stock of Jams and sauces for the stall when Maria approaches the stand, a sly smile showing on her face. #ClaraWeldon#TheSims4
The kitchen smells like butter and fresh coffee. Jack stands at the counter, mixing batter, while Clara moves easily around him, grabbing some batter to make perfectly golden pancakes. Sunlight filters through the curtains, casting a soft glow on the small, cluttered space. #ClaraWeldon#TheSims4
A quiet evening in Clara's front yard. The air smells like lilacs and wood smoke. The goats are settled, the chickens quiet, and Scout and Mittens are roaming nearby. Clara lounges peacefully, head in Jack's lap. #ClaraWeldon#TheSims4
Jack leans against the railing, easily drawn in by the three gossiping women. Ellie lounges on one of the porch couches, Maria taking up another, and Betty settles into the final couch with that sharp-eyed look that always made Jack feel like a teenager again. #ClaraWeldon#TheSims4
Jack shows up on horseback in the late afternoon, Starlight in tow on a lead attached to Rosie, asking Clara out for an afternoon ride. They ride side by side through open fields, the rhythm of hooves and wind filling the space between them. After a while, Jack speaks. #ClaraWeldon#TheSims4
Later that week, Brent helps Jack work on cleaning up his pasture. As they work, Jack finds himself watching the road leading toward Clara’s place. #ClaraWeldon#TheSims4
(Sorry guys, we've been very busy in my household so this got missed.)
Clara invites Maria and Emma over for coffee and to meet the new farm additions. The girls enjoy spending time with the young goats before heading inside for some tea. #ClaraWeldon#sims4
Jack notices Clara’s truck at the feed store again — third time this week. Later that day, curiosity (and something else) gets the better of him. He swings by her place under the excuse of returning a borrowed wrench. #TheSims4#ClaraWeldon
A few days later, Mason stops by to check on Penny and Pip. He watches as Clara feeds Penny, and grins as she updates him. There’s a comfortable ease between them now, born of shared care. #ClaraWeldon#sims4#TheSims4
Clara rearranges her small barn to create a space for the new arrivals. Naming them feels important, somehow — a promise she’s keeping. She settles on Penny and Pip. While working, she thinks about Mason’s quiet faith in her. #ClaraWeldon#sims4#TheSims4
Clara is hauling water buckets when she hears a truck pulling into the drive. She wipes her hands on her jeans as Dr. Blake hops out, his usual calm smile in place — but this time, there’s something different. Two small goat heads peek out over a crate in his truck bed. #ClaraWeldon#sims4#TheSims4
Clara arrives to find Starlight already saddled. Jack gives her a look that’s both encouraging and a little mischievous. Clara hesitates, brushing a hand over Starlight’s neck. With Jack’s steadying hand, Clara mounts Starlight. #ClaraWeldon#sims4#TheSims4
Clara stops by again, this time with a few apple slices tucked into her pocket. Jack’s been telling her how Starlight has started warming up more, and she wants to see for herself. Starlight is grazing quietly when Clara approaches. #ClaraWeldon#sims4#TheSims4
Jack leads her toward the smaller paddock near the back of the property. As they round the corner, Clara spots a tall, sleek black horse, its coat shimmering like ink. The mare’s long mane drapes like a curtain over one eye, and her posture is watchful, cautious. #sims4#TheSims4#ClaraWeldon
Sunlight pours through the kitchen window. The kettle whistles quietly, and Clara, still in her sleep shirt with her hair loosely tied in a high pony tail, stirs honey into her morning tea. Scout pads in from the porch, tail wagging as he drops into a playful pose. #sims4#TheSims4#ClaraWeldon
After dinner, they settle in the grass in front of Clara's house, the breeze carrying the faint sounds of crickets and rustling leaves. They talk—about small things at first. But eventually, the conversation drifts deeper. #sims4#TheSims4#ClaraWeldon
