Mike asks Ronnie to marry him…
…and she accepts.
It is a rainy morning, so they spend the time studying Alchemy. Mike reaches level 8 in Alchemy and Ronnie achieves level 6.
Ronnie is starting to think that being a vampire is not such a great thing.
Charles gets a call from Amanda Anderson asking him to meet her at the city pool. She tells him that her sister has moved out and that she is stuck living with Ernest. She needs a place to stay and she is wondering if they is any room where everyone is living now. Charles tells her that there is an extra bed in the house. When she learns that there are eight Sims in the house, she changes her mind.
Ronnie goes out on three ghost hunting jobs. She makes $780, plus sells the ghosts and gets another $525.
Meanwhile, Mike continues to try and get a raise or promotion from Valencia, but she doesn’t want to discuss work…
…and instead she asks Mike to watch the stars.
Later, Mike overhears Valencia and Lisa talking and learns that Valencia is thinking of leaving her husband, Austin, and moving in permanently. Mike is beginning to think he has made a mistake asking her to stay in the house.
