Round 12: Cipriani-Sharpe Family

Last week in the Cipriani-Sharpe household Ben reconnected with his ex wife Starla after the passing of her second husband. Eden became a lovely teen. Ben activated Zola the servo as a last hope of someone to continue caring for Eden after he was gone.

We start this week as we started the last. Ben and Starla are still spending alot of time together, but as previoisly mentioned, do not want to bother with getting married again this late in life.

And Ben also puts time into trying to help Zola understand that she will be sole caretaker of Eden when he passes.

His passing is the only thing that he can seem to think of. He makes sure to say his goodbyes to his sons, and to Eden.

Tired of his brooding mood about death and leaving her behind, Eden decides to put her foot down and confront Ben. And her words actually hit home. He had raised a smart, responsible, and beautiful young woman.

After their little talk, Ben decides to install a pool in the back yard.

It is something he was glad he did. Eden had been right, he needed to focus less on the end and more on the journey to it.
*******************
Though, just as he was learning to enjoy himself again, his time comes all too soon...

And no matter how hard he had tried to prepare her for it, Eden took his passing really hard. Ben had been everything to her...a father, a mother...her entire support system.

And without Ben there to guide her hand, Eden began to act out.

She started with deactivating Zola so that she could sneak out with her boyfriend Joel.

And ended up in a bit of deep water for it.

But the worst part was that there was no one there to punish her...no one there to tell her right from wrong.
******************
Knowing that she needed a change in her life, Eden made the decision to head off to university.

First, she reactivated Zola and made her appologies.

Next, she had someone else to appologize too. Knowing that he would be disappointed in her crushed Eden, but she could not undo what was already done.

Unsure if she would be coming back to this house in her lifetime, Eden sent the graves of her loved ones to the new Chruch on the Island St. Roses'.
******************
Then all that was left was to pack some of her things and head off to Academie Le Bloom.

This was a chance at a fresh start. A chance to discover who she was and what she wanted from life. Though she would have to go it alone, Eden was as ready as she could ever be.

Shame on Eden, glad she got her act straightened out and went off to college.

OK, disregard my comment on the last post as it is now too late. Bye Ben, you'll be missed. He ended up be a stand up guy. Poor Eden, all alone, at least without people. Hopefully she'll straighten out at college.
