My Wallace Family recaps are now complete. Here are the links in case you missed one -

Gen 1 | Gen 2 | Gen 3 | Gen 4 | Gen 5 | Gen 6 | Gen 7

Why are these recaps important?

The Wallace Family is getting a revival! Some of my longtime readers might recognize these faces, but the storylines have likely been forgotten over the years. And for my newer readers who’ve never met the Wallaces, this is your introduction.

I’ll be bringing a new character into the upcoming Banks Dynasty updates, and these recaps will give you a little insight into his family background.

While I have yet to choose a male heir for the Wallace family story, the men of this legacy are just as important to me as the female heirs.  In fact, they usually end up being some of my favorite characters.  I’ve never really shared the traits of the men in the family.  I’m sure some of you have already guessed some of them, but I decided to provide them here for those curious to know a little more about these important male characters. (It’s also an excuse to post more pictures of some of my long gone favorite sims!)

Preston:  I could get used to this?

Zena:  *chuckles* Me too!

Preston:  Yeah, but I mean more than this-this.  I mean...I could get used to being around you...all the time. 

Zena chuckles and climbs out of the hot tub.  Preston follows her.

Preston:  I mean it, Zee.  I spent my entire life working, so much so that I never took the time to find someone to settle down with.  I want that now before it’s too late...with you!

Zena:  Isn’t this a bit soon?

Preston:  Neither of us knows how long we have.  It’s like, one moment you’re young and you have the whole world in front of you.  Then those birthdays creep up on you and you find yourself at the final stage of your life. I don’t know about you, but I’d like to live out my days happy!  You make me happy.

After the photos are taken, Zeton and Anton rejoin the party inside.  Zena and Preston remain outside to enjoy some privacy.

Zena: It really is a nice day today. *looks up at the sky*

Preston:  *looks up with Zena* It is...it really is!

Zena:  I almost wish I had thrown Zeton an outdoor party.  It’s a shame to be inside missing all this great weather.

Preston:  It’s still a nice party.

Zena can’t think of any more small talk to help her avoid saying what she really wants to say, so she just goes for it...

Zena:  I’m ready for you to take me home now.

Preston:  *concerned* Does your head still hurt?

Zena:   Oh...no, no that’s passed.  Did you mean it when you said you wanted to make this a birthday that I’d remember?

Preston:  Yes...of course. *slides closer to Zena*
