Hippy Town - Mar 2023 Cont

 

Winter Ryder - 19 / Carmen Erickson - 25

Winter finally is at her new apartment. There was a waiting list to live here but she wouldn't live anywhere else. 

Her parents (Dad and Step-Mom/Aunt) gave her 50k when she moved into her apartment so she decked it out with everything she could need. 

She gets a job as a Medical Photographer making decent money. Weird days off but she made enough money to not care. 

With a new place and a great job, Winter updates her look.

Carmen finally makes it to Vernaville. It wasn't that far from HT but far enough. Devon gave Carmen a bit of money before she left, she had cheated but he didn't hate his soon to be ex wife. 

Just like she thought she had lost her job but thankfully Vernaville was in need of some teachers and she secured a job as a playground monitor for her interview to bigger and better things. 

After a week of being a playground monitor, the principal called her into his office and promoted her. The extra income was nice, especially since she was paying 400 a month for her daughters. 

Her apartment was okay if not a bit raggedy. Carmen sets her old stove on fire. She needed to remember to replace that. 

Life wasn't all bad. She often got calls from Terrence. He told her he missed her and was sad she had moved so far. She told him he could always leave his girlfriend and come live with her. He always had an excuse for why he couldn't. Most of the time it was, "I'm in the army, I can't just pick and go like I want to Carmen." She couldn't help but feel like she blew up her marriage for a lie.
