Legionella’s Decision
Legionella now knew the truth and she figured it was time for Gordon to as well. They agreed to meet at Bernard’s Botanical Dining because it was known for it’s quiet atmosphere and they could talk. After they were seated at their table Legionella turned to Gordon and said, “Now I think there is something you need to know. It involves my mother and your father.”
Gordon looked into Legionella’s eyes at a complete loss as to what she was going to say.
“Gordon, the woman your father raped was my mother.”
The words resonated in the air. Gordon stared with disbelief, “Y-y-your mother?”
“Yes.”
Gordon dropped his head into his hands, “Oh Ella. I had no idea. I’m, I’m so sorry.”
“Gordon, you did not rape my mother. You don’t even know your father. How could I possibly hold you responsible?”
“I feel responsible!”
“You aren’t.”
“I’ll understand if you want to leave me and never want to see me again.”
“But I don’t. In fact, quite the contrary. I mean, Gordon, if we can make it through this we can make it through anything.”
With that Legionella pulled out a small black box and passed it across the table to Gordon.
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!
