Niko & Iris

Love Getaway! - Oasis Springs! ❤️

A week or so after returning from Nordhaven, Iris threw herself into work. Somehow, all the new feelings and swirling thoughts made her writing flow even easier. Losing herself in her stories had always helped her make sense of things — and this time was no different.

Meanwhile, Olivia and Quinn had been a constant source of comfort. Since Quinn was staying with Olivia for a while (to give Divya and Salim some much-needed “alone time”), the three of them naturally fell into spending more and more time together.

One evening, Olivia suggested a little getaway — just the three of them. Iris immediately said yes before even asking what kind of getaway this was. Classic Iris.

They arrived at the venue, greeted warmly by their hosts… and that’s when Iris started to realize something wasn’t quite what she expected. A Love Competition. A full-on reality-show-style love competition.

Olivia and Quinn absolutely lost it laughing as Iris’s face went from confusion to disbelief to resignation. “Just relax and enjoy! Worst case, we sunbathe all weekend,” they insisted.

As everyone gathered in the lounge, the guys arrived. Turns out they all knew each other already — four friends from university:

Finn, Niko, Hayden & Ethan.

Each fun in their own way, but Iris couldn’t help feeling a quiet pull toward Niko… and judging by the way he kept gravitating toward her, the feeling was mutual.

Lazy sun-drenched afternoons by the pool slipped into long nights talking, flirting, and laughing. And on the final day, in a soft, quiet moment away from the cameras and chaos, Niko admitted he’d love to see more of her once the competition was over.

More cautious this time, Iris took his number and agreed to meet up back in San Myshuno — but at her own pace.

As for Olivia and Quinn… well, they had fun too. But Iris couldn’t help noticing something was off between them. Olivia had hooked up with Finn, Quinn with Ethan, and underneath all the laughter there was an odd tension neither of them acknowledged. Iris made a mental note to ask what was really going on once they got home.

When the getaway finally ended, Iris hugged them both tight, thanking them for dragging her along. The time away had been exactly what she didn’t know she needed — she felt light again, full of something like happiness.

…Though she wasn’t entirely convinced the food agreed with her, judging by how fast she had to rush to the bathroom on the way out. 😅

As she walked off the elevator at Culpepper House that question she was going to ask Quinn & Olivia was answered!! and she couldn't of been happier

☀️ Summer in the City & Nordhaven – Yr 1 ☀️

The hot weather finally arrived in San Myshuno and Iris was living for it. San Myshuno Park has basically become the girl's second home at this point — the perfect place to lounge, gossip, and enjoy those long summer days.

The girls celebrated Simdependence Day together, and it turned out to be a big day for love, too! 💘

Divya announced that she’d started seeing Salim, whom she met at a promotion dinner for Iris. And Isla, who had always harbored a quiet crush on Iris’s neighbor Alejandro, finally had her moment when he walked into her restaurant to compliment the chef. Fate, honestly.

Just as the lazy summer bliss settled in, Iris got a call from her publishers — Llama Publishing — asking her to host a book signing in Nordhaven for her latest novel. Cue panic. A new town? New people? Her social anxiety said absolutely not. But after a frantic call to Olivia, she suggested that she and Quinn tag along for a little city break. Problem solved!

They checked into the beautiful Hotel Joanna and after a quick lunch, headed to a local pottery class. Her instructor, Reid, turned out to be very friendly… 👀

That evening, the girls hit the local nightclub — and who should show up but Reid. One thing led to another (with the assistance of several drinks), a few romantic moments were shared, and Iris didn’t stumble into bed until 6am.

The next day was the big one: the book signing. Everyone planned to meet there, but Reid arrived early and suggested a calming walk around the park to help with her nerves. Confused by these new emotions swirling around her, Iris let herself just… be swept along.

When it was finally time for the signing, Iris was blown away by the turnout. She pushed through her nerves and social awkwardness to greet every single fan. She was glowing — truly.

But that glow didn’t last. Later that evening, with drinks and dancing in full swing, Iris headed down to the lower bar… only to find Reid flirting with other women. Her stomach dropped. Had she imagined everything? Was she reading too much into it?

Olivia and Quinn rushed to her side, reminding her that no matter what, she wasn’t alone.

Returning home, Iris tried to make sense of everything — these new feelings she’d never experienced before, the excitement, the disappointment. But one thing was certain:

She wasn’t going to let this break her. She would be okay. 💛

Del Sol Valley Vacation - Spring Yr 1

As spring begins to close its doors and summer peeks around the corner, it was finally time for the first vacation Iris hoped would be one of many. The girls checked into the Plumbob Pictures Hotel for a cozy two-night stay—ready for sunshine, laughter, and whatever adventures awaited them. 🌸✨🏨

Spending time together was exactly what Iris needed—though she hadn’t realized it until now. The slow, dreamy days of wandering through museums, eating at incredible restaurants, and doing lazy shopping trips with her closest friends had been nothing short of wonderful.

Soaking in the sights and sounds of this celebrity-packed world only made her more curious about what other places might hold. There was so much out there, and Iris could feel her wanderlust beginning to bloom.

Isla Knight

Isla grew up in Brindleton Bay, the daughter of a fisherman and a baker. Not what you would think from her hometown, her upbringing was anything but yachts, country clubs and privledge. She inherited her mother’s love of cooking and has been steadily working her way up the chef career ever since. When a restaurant in San Myshuno offered her a position, her parents encouraged her to take the leap and explore life beyond their sleepy coastal town.

Isla had always been quite shy—quiet and reserved—until she met Olivia. Both were new to the city when they crossed paths on a karaoke night. Olivia was the life and soul of the bar, singing loudly and unapologetically, not particularly well but with all the enthusiasm in the world. Isla was instantly in awe of her confidence.

Divya Khan

Divya grew up in a high-achieving family where everyone excelled at everything. Expectations were sky-high, and from the moment she enrolled in university, she knew exactly what she wanted: to help people. Becoming a doctor felt like the best way to do that.

Her family, of course, loved this plan. “Dr. Khan” had a nice ring to it, and they wasted no time telling everyone. But meeting Quinn was like a breath of fresh air. Quinn’s genuine passion for giving back to her community didn’t just inspire Divya—it reassured her that she was on the right path for the right reasons.

Still, Divya hopes to eventually step out from under her family’s influence. She doesn’t want to be known as Dr. Khan, the perfect daughter. She wants to be Divya—her own person, on her own terms.

Quinn Hart

It’s hard for Quinn to even remember when she first met Divya at university—maybe a drunken beer pong match? Whatever the origin, one thing’s certain: Divya is, and always will be, her best friend. They’re total opposites, but somehow that’s always been their strength.

Quinn grew up in Newcrest, a town meant to be a fresh start for families hoping to build something new. But the dream never materialized. After a corrupt mayor drained the town’s funds, Newcrest slipped into disrepair. Now, walking down the streets, half the homes stand abandoned, and the once-hopeful neighborhood is only a shadow of what it could have been.

Her parents raised her with one clear message: leave, and build a better life. Inspired by the teachers who helped her survive high school, Quinn knew she wanted to do the same—give back to kids who actually wanted to learn and grow.

A scholarship took her to university, and that’s where she met Divya. They clicked instantly. When they graduated, Divya asked her to move in with her in San Myshuno, and Quinn didn’t hesitate for a second—she wasn’t about to leave her best friend behind.

Meet our girls 🥰 - Olivia

Starlight Accolades!

As Iris started to pack, the nerves began to kick in. She had never dreamed of people liking her writing—let alone being nominated for an award! Olivia and the girls had been so excited for her, and their joy wrapped her in a warm, glowing sense of love. They had all assured her that even if she didn’t come home with an award in her hand, they were already so proud of her, and they would enjoy the night no matter what.

Everything was booked and ready. Their accomodation for 2 days would be -- the old cinema that had been transformed into the beautiful Art Deco Plumbob Pictures Hotel. Standing right in the centre of the city, it was absolutely perfect.

Heading down to Studio PBP, Iris couldn’t help but be in awe of the whole place—Art Deco glam bursting from every corner.

When Baako Jang called for everyone to take their seats, Iris tried to steady her breathing. And then, suddenly, she heard her name.

Her name. Stumbling to her feet, she walked to the microphone, feeling the heavy weight of the Accolade settle into her hand. She’d won. She’d actually won! The girls were screaming and clapping as she made her way through her thank-yous, expressing her gratitude to them and to everyone who had read her book.

They partied into the early hours, drinking champagne and celebrating a night she would never, ever forget.

Spring had somehow managed to fly past in San Myshuno. Alice found it hard to believe that a whole season of being out in the world had brought her so many great memories and friends.

She had found a love for Yoga at the local Skye Gym, the view alone made getting up early and grabbing a class worth it! She had also been visited by a random burglar (who kindly removed their shoes 😂) Luckily the alarm had scared them off !

Olivia, her neighbour, had become one of her best friends and confidants. They had shared all the fun holidays, celebrated work promotions, and enjoyed countless nights out together.

Olivia had also introduced her to what had now become a solid friendship group consisting of Divya, Quinn, and Isla.

Work had settled into a familiar routine. Her desk in the busy office at Llama Publishing had recently been replaced by a small private office—a perk of her promotion and choosing the author path. She loved her work and had even managed to write a few short stories, which she published herself.

To her huge excitement and surprise, her book had been nominated for a Starlight Accolade!

Iris Page Socially Akward - Bookworm - Loyal

Iris had finally decided, after days of researching a world she had never seen, to start her new life in San Myshuno. Her job was here, the rent was cheap, and after securing 17 Culpepper House she slowly began transforming the space into something that felt like home.

One of the biggest appeals of the apartment was the fact that she had neighbors all around her. Three other units shared her floor, and the constant hum of activity made her feel a little less alone. Even if the Rasoyas did have a habit of keeping her awake half the night, she somehow found it comforting.

Along with Raj and his mother Geeta, she had met Olivia from apartment 19 and Alejandro from apartment 18 when they stopped by to welcome her to the building. Though she’d been anxious at first, she was proud of herself for inviting them inside. After admitting her struggles with social anxiety to Olivia, she was relieved to find understanding and even happier to gain a new friend who promised to help her work through some of those fears.
