I arrive at the Foxbury campus and make my way to student housing. I will not be staying in the dorms for my first term. Instead, I’ll be at the edge of campus in Maritime Manor, which happens to be for guys only. It’s also a remodeled version of the daycare that I attended back…
Kai Banks was raised by his single mother, Peri, who took care of him alone while working through college. His father, Craig, never showed any interest in ever wanting to get to know him. Kai has always been the “good” kid despite his circumstances, but there’s a lot of anger bubbling just under the surface…
After showering and getting dressed for the day, I’m in the bathroom fixing the toilet when I get a call from Kimmie. Kimmie: *on the phone* It’s done, Peri! I can’t wait for you to see it. It seems that today is moving day! I immediately go in to tell Kai. Prosperity: *knocks on Kai’s…
There’s snow coming down when Kai and his friends arrive at the festival in Willow Creek. Miki: We’re too early. *to Vern* I thought you said that the festival started now.

The Old Quarter restaurant is nice and fancy inside, and the food prices reflect the ambiance. The food and drink choices include only the finest selections. Kimmie: So this is the best of what Windenburg has to offer? Excellent pick, Waddell. Waddell: I figured such a special lady and occasion deserves nothing less. Prosperity: *all…
I wake up extra early, happy to have free time to do some leisurely painting. I also end up with a high-level job with a very generous signing bonus that I didn’t even have to apply for. Now I see why a distinguished degree from Britechester is so coveted. Meanwhile, Kai is on the other…
Now that I’m officially done with school, it’s time to get started on converting the warehouse. I call up my friend, Wild, who is a Civil Designer. In her line of work, she knows a lot about securing permits, and she can also help with a design for my new home. Not only that, her…
As Waddell and I enter the house, four things happen simultaneously. First, Kai unexpectantly steps around the corner from the kitchen.
