Legionella’s Decision
Legionella pressed the “Talk” button on the phone with her thumb and the disconnecting beep echoed through the quiet house. She gently placed the phone back on the cradle and went upstairs and stretched out on her bed. So much was running through her mind. There was so much to take in. She could only assume Cell’s story was true. It was far too close to Gordon’s own story for him to have made it up.
At some point Legionella drifted off to sleep and when she woke up her room was dark. The digital alarm clock on her bedside table told her it was 2:23 am in blazing red numbers. It was too late to call her Uncle Bacillus so she would just have to wait for morning. So she climbed beneath the blankets of her bed and tried not to dream of the horror that existed in her mother’s past.
When she awoke sunlight was streaming in through her window announcing the arrival of a new day. She stretched her arms above her head and wiped the sleep from her eyes with the back of her hand. Today was the day she was going to find her answers.
Awww, well I’m glad for Legionella and I am so glad this family secret is out. If Ella and Gordon got through this ok, they can get through anything. Maybe now we can have closure on this whole traumatic incident in the family’s past and get on with life. Can’t wait to see the wedding!

Wow, you worked the burglar in so perfectly! Kudos to you. I am glad that it turned out as it did. Legionella seems to have a good head on her shoulders, and she did indeed, do the right thing. Thanks for sharing.

This is a very nice and sweet end to a tragic story. I hope Ella and Gordon will live happily ever after. BTW, Ella is a beautiful sim.

I am so glad Ella didn’t hold Gordon responsible for the sins of his father, no matter how closely it tied in with her own family. And I’m glad to see her uncle decided it was enough with hiding it away like some shameful thing, especially since his sister hadn’t done anything wrong. And congrats on getting the burglar into your legacy line!

Very cool. I’m wondering what their kids are gonna look like, though. Gordon has a crazy nose! Congrats on the burglar!
