Hi friends! 👋

After almost two months without posting, here's a little update that I hope you'll enjoy 😊

I'm so happy to share a little bit of Liam and Penny's life with you all, finally !

There's a lot going on in their household... If you want to take a look, here's the updated feed.
December 1, 2025 at 12:22 PM
Penny headed for the bathroom, the test almost useless.

Her mind had tried to hide the truth from her, but Nonna had opened her eyes and she now noticed her rounded belly.

She hadn't changed her mind about wanting a child, and was assailed by doubts, fears, and unanswered questions.
November 30, 2025 at 9:54 PM
Red stood there, happy to have company.

Penny spoke to her as if she were waiting for some kind of confirmation.

Had she been blind? Delusional? Had Nonna made yet another unfounded assumption?

She wouldn't be able to sleep until she knew for sure.
November 30, 2025 at 9:51 PM
That night, Penny couldn't sleep.

In the middle of the night, after tossing and turning in bed, she got up.

Giuseppina's words were still running through her head, and she was afraid to understand their meaning..

She gained a little weight, true. But until then, she hadn't been worried about it.
November 30, 2025 at 9:49 PM
In the end, the smell of smoke and the soot-blackened kitchen had not tarnished Winterfest Eve.

Penny couldn’t stop giggling at her apron, Liam flexed his toes proudly, showing off his pizza socks to Nonna, who beamed at their reactions.

Tomorrow, Liam would come and replace what had been burned.
November 30, 2025 at 9:45 PM
Then they opened their presents.

Giuseppina had made Penny a personalised apron, embroidered with the words "𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘻𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘦! 𝘗𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘢!"

For Liam, she had knitted a pair of socks with pizzas on them. (yes, she knew pizzas weren't italian, but he loved them)
November 30, 2025 at 9:44 PM
While waiting for the food to arrive, they decorated the tree together, following the old tradition.

Liam had always loved blue, and Nonna knew it.

This year, she’d traded her usual red and gold ornaments for shades of blue.
November 30, 2025 at 9:42 PM
When Liam arrived, he found Nonna a little flustered but smiling. She had handled it all, and the worst was clearly over.

He had taken care of everything and had ordered dinner from a caterer.

Giuseppina, grateful, immediately complimented her grandson on his ability to take care of his loved ones
November 30, 2025 at 9:41 PM
Everyone was used to Nonna’s curious, clumsy remarks, but this time Penny truly didn’t understand what she meant.

After all, she was an old lady, and sometimes she said silly things.

For once, Giuseppina realised she had said something she shouldn’t have, and quickly changed the subject.
November 30, 2025 at 9:41 PM
Penny arrived shortly after the firefighters left.

Giuseppina felt ashamed, but relieved that everything happened before Penny arrived. It would have been terrible to put 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 in danger.

Penny, surprised to hear her speak in the plural, tried to reassure her by pointing out that it was just her.
November 30, 2025 at 9:40 PM
Giuseppina rushed out of the house and called for help.

She had never failed a dish in her life, so to set fire to the kitchen on Winterfest night?

Well, that was such bad luck!
November 30, 2025 at 9:38 PM
A crackling sound started to come from the oven, but Nonna only snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the fire alarm.

In a matter of seconds, her delicious dish had turned into flames spreading through the kitchen.
November 30, 2025 at 9:37 PM
Her thoughts drifted back to her grandson’s youth: the endless nights out, the brief romances, his sudden departure for Windenburg.

She’d feared he’d lose himself along the way… but instead he had grown. More grounded, more focused, and happily building a future with someone who cared for him.
November 30, 2025 at 9:36 PM
A few weeks later, Winterfest began to settle across Nordhaven, bringing warmth to every home.

Nonna loved this time of year, she was attached to traditions and was excited to spend this evening with Liam and the woman who now shared his life.
November 30, 2025 at 9:35 PM
Liam had prepared everything for tonight: a blanket by the fireplace, a bottle of good wine, a small corner just for them. It wasn’t perfect, but it was theirs.

By the fire, the distance between them finally disappeared, as natural and warm as the flickering light around them.
November 30, 2025 at 9:27 PM
The place already looked completely different.

What had once been a broken-down structure now felt warm and already alive. Penny knew what Liam could do, but seeing it here still caught her off guard.

The bar wasn’t finished yet, but the progress was undeniable, and the project finally felt real.
November 30, 2025 at 9:26 PM
Before heading out, they ordered dessert for Penny and coffee for Liam.

She was still hungry, and the warmth of the place made her want to stay a bit longer before stepping back into the cold.
November 30, 2025 at 9:25 PM
Penny hadn’t seen the building since the very first day.

She knew he was working hard. He came home late, exhausted, covered in dust. But she still didn’t expect the place to have changed that much already, given the scale of the task.

Still, she trusted him.
November 30, 2025 at 9:24 PM
Almost like friends who hadn’t seen each other in too long, Liam and Penny slipped back into their shared rhythm, catching up on everything they had missed.

They finally found the time to go out, and for a good reason: Liam had made real progress on his project. He felt ready to show her.
November 30, 2025 at 9:23 PM
Before the waitress took their order, Penny noticed a woman about to leave, giving them a quick, cornered glance. She didn’t think much of it.

She was used to meeting people who knew Liam and Nonna.
November 30, 2025 at 9:22 PM
Nordhaven. Restaurant. Winter. ❄️

Liam had lived in Nordhaven his whole childhood, yet he had never been to this restaurant.

That’s why he chose it for their first romantic night in ages.

Between Penny’s job in finance and Liam’s bar renovation, they hardly saw each other anymore.
November 30, 2025 at 9:20 PM
I think it's obvious that I'm dying to show you everything that's happened to them lately... It's coming soon!

I have about 300 screenshots that just need to get organized, then written up and posted. Not that difficult.

Thank you for being here, I love sharing all this with you. 🧡
