The next morning, Hex’s world crashes down around her.

She wakes up to a flurry of calls from blocked numbers that were immediately directed to her voicemail. Her heart thuds hard in her chest as she sees each one of her mothers has tried to call. She’s too scared to listen to their messages. She doesn’t get on with her mothers after they abandoned her during her teenage years. Why would they try to call her?

Suddenly, she gets a call from her older brother, Thorne. Hex rolls out of bed, hitting the accept button as she nervously perches on the edge of her bed.

Hex: “Thorne? What’s wrong? Mums have -“

Thorne: “Hex, it’s…it’s Grandma Esme and Grandma Zeta…”

Instead of falling back into her bed in shock, Hex stands up and starts pacing around the room. Tears trickle down her cheeks as she peppers her brother with questions, demanding to know what has happened. Deep down, she knows the answers, but doesn’t want to admit it.

Grandma Esme and Grandma Zeta have passed away from old age…

As Hex is a night owl, she’s not ready for bed once she gets back from her date with Vaughn.

She’s in such a good mood that Diesel seems a little wary of her when she first walks through the door. He warms up to her within minutes, but he’s so used to seeing his mum feeling sad! She scoops up her fur son and chats to him about her date as she heads to the kitchen to make dinner.

Hex flips on the radio as she cooks, humming to the music. She avoids radio stations usually, not wanting to hear any music from her mothers’ band, the Fated Mates. It’s late at night, so catchy tunes to keep a sim dancing all night long are the only ones playing.

Once she’s eaten, she’s still not ready to chill out. Instead, she pulls out her phone and prints out the cute selfies she took with Vaughn. She scatters a few around the hallway with her other photos, then saves her favourite one to sit in a frame on her desk. She places it next to a photo of her ex boyfriend, Weatherly. She’s not ready to take his photos down yet.

For the rest of the night, Hex hacks systems for extra simoleons whilst jamming away to the radio. Diesel hops up on her desk, curling up and falling asleep whilst she works.

Her life is finally moving forward!

Tonight was one of the most fun outings Hex has been on in weeks!

She’s been a recluse, either working hard to distract herself or pouring her heart out to her cat, Diesel. She’s only had enough capacity to love her fur son, but not open herself up to affection from anyone else. After tonight, she thinks she might be ready to date again.

Hex and Vaughn walk out of the bar, giggling at the selfies they took in the photobooth. They’re adorable! She’ll set the cute photo up on her desk, so she can look at Vaughn’s gorgeous smile whilst working. It’s not too late at night, as Vaughn has to collect daughter, Bronwyn, from her friend’s house.

Vaughn: “Tonight has been so fun, Hex. When can I see you again?”

Hex: “My schedule is a bit all over the place at the moment, so I need to check when I’m free. I’ll call you tomorrow and let you know?”

Vaughn nods, flashing her a toothy grin. He has the energy of a golden retriever - loyal and happy to be around their humans.

Vaughn: “See you soon?”

Hex: “Very soon. Goodnight, Vaughn.”

Vaughn reaches out, squeezing her hand. She waits until he walks away before she slips into the shadows. She doesn’t want him to know which part of Evergreen Harbour she lives in. Her alien form life and human form life need to be kept separate!

Vaughn’s smile brightens, lighting up his whole face. Hex’s compliment of liking him for who he is, not who he could pretend to be, fills him with confidence. He leans in closer too, polar opposite personalities drawn together like magnets.

Vaughn: “This is kinda forward, Hex, but I feel our connection so strongly that I need to be honest with you and myself. I’ve been attracted to you since we met. I’m glad you’re single. I respect that you might need more time after your breakup. I will wait for you, or we can take things slowly.”

Hex takes a deep breath, feeling her whole body tingle with anticipation. Isn’t this what she wanted? She used her voodoo doll on Vaughn to enhance his feelings for her, making him confident enough to share them with her. Hearing him be so gentle with her, acknowledging her tough breakup with her soulmate, Weatherly Crewe, sends waves of guilt through her. She does find Vaughn very attractive. Her feelings aren’t as strong as his, but given time, she really could fall for him.

Hex: “I’d like that, Vaughn. I’m…I’d like to take things slowly.”

Vaughn’s smile grows impossibly brighter. He blows her a kiss before getting up to buy another round of drinks. He’s happy just to have the prospect of them becoming a couple. They have the whole night to get to know one another!

Hex: “How’s Bronwyn? You can tell her when you get home that she did a good job picking out a shirt for you to wear tonight.”

Vaughn’s awkwardness breaks. Warm laughter bubbles up within him, so infectious that Hex can’t help but smile. His adoration for his daughter and dedication to parenting her is one of the things she finds so inspiring about him. As a sim who doesn’t have a close bond with her mums, Hex has ultimate respect for a loving parent of any kind.

Vaughn: “You noticed? I usually dress myself, but Bronie wanted me to look extra special tonight. She’s good, being her usual, talkative self.”

Hex finishes her drink, pushing the glass aside so she can rest her elbows on the table. She leans in, giving Vaughn all of her attention. It also helps him read her lips in the busy bar.

Hex: “Bronwyn has great taste. How does she feel about you meeting up with someone?”

Vaughn: “She’s encouraging it! I dropped her at a friend’s house on my way here. She wouldn’t stop talking about how cool she thinks you are. She told me to come up with some interesting hobbies, other than being her Dad and a teacher…”

Hex: “She doesn’t have to worry. I like you just as you are!”

Vaughn comes back to their table, drinks in hand. Hex hopes he doesn’t notice her nervousness. He was standing so close to Gabriella Avila, the sim who passes orders between Hex and the head of the Llama Gang. Hex kept a close eye on them, as Gabriella kept trying to talk to him.

Hex: “Everything okay? I saw someone uhh…chatting to you.”

Vaughn raises an eyebrow as he sets their drinks down on the table. Hex senses a curious thought pass through his mind. He’s wondering if she’s acting jealous about him talking to another sim. His mind is influenced by his voodoo doll-induced flirtiness. He likes it. He hopes Hex likes him as much as he likes her.

Vaughn: “Yeah. She said I was cute, but I told her I wasn’t interested. I was buying a drink for my adorable date.”

Hex blushes involuntarily as she looks away. She’s not used to Vaughn being this forward. She doesn’t want to come across as possessive or controlling, even though he’s under the influence of her voodoo doll.

Hex: “Well, your adorable date thanks her adorable date for the drink.”

Vaughn laughs and sits down opposite her. An awkward silence builds as they sip their drinks, gathering themselves after more obvious flirting.

Hex approaches Vaughn cautiously, trying not to show her trepidation in her stance. She doesn’t know how he will react whilst under the influence of her voodoo doll. He seems to be back to normal, but she can sense his heavily flirty mood. He will hang off of her every word!

The pair chat for a while at the corner of the bar, lightly catching up as they haven’t seen each other for a while. Their conversation is pleasant, but Hex notices Vaughn leaning closer than usual. His shy advances are very welcome!

Vaughn: “My turn to get the drinks. What do you want?”

Hex: “A rootbeer, please. It’s a childhood and family favourite.”

Vaughn: “Adorable! I’ll be right back!”

Hex can’t help but giggle as Vaughn saunters away from her. His confidence under the influence of her voodoo doll is infectious! Her gaze follows him as he heads to the bar. Once he joins the queue, her heart skips a beat.

Is that Gabriella? One of her work colleagues from the Llama Gang? Is she spying on her?! Plumbobs, Hex needs to keep Vaughn away from her!

Hex finishes the spell just in time as Vaughn turns around to face her.

For a moment, her breath hitches as her heart rate slows. She freezes on the spot, gazing into the glazed over eyes of her potential date. He stares back at her, completely expressionless. Has she done something wrong? What if the spell failed and instead it sucked out his soul, rather than drawing his to hers?

Hesitating for a moment longer, Hex slips the voodoo doll back into her inventory. She waits impatiently for the colour to return to his cheeks. The glazed over look in his eyes fades away, revealing the light blue of a clear blue sky.

Vaughn: “Hex?”

Hex feels her stomach swoop when she sees Vaughn’s cheeks darken as he blushes. He looks like a lovesick teenager as he catches her gaze, coming out of the voodoo doll daze. The spell worked! Hex can sense his emotional state shift from tense orange to flirty pink!

Hex must act quickly whilst Vaughn’s back is turned!

Standing in the middle of the full bar, Hex pulls her voodoo doll out of her inventory. A wave of guilt washes over her as she stares down into its button eyes. She fell in love with her ex boyfriend, Weatherly, so naturally. She knows it’s wrong to influence the feelings of another sim, but she does it all the time with her alien abilities. Why is it any different with a voodoo doll?

Hex holds the doll between her palms, closing her eyes as she concentrates. She reaches her mind out to Vaughn’s, seeing him tense up. A purple glow twists around her hands as she waves them like a spellcaster. The voodoo doll wriggles as it gains a life of its own.

Hex: “Voodoo Doll, I can’t do this any more. I need cuddles and someone to adore!”

With the words muttered under her breath, the voodoo doll swivels in her hands towards Vaughn. It playfully waves at him as the bond forms, connecting the two!

For the first time in weeks, Hex gets all dressed up ready for a night out! She used to go out a lot when she was at university, but she had someone to celebrate with back then. Only at the end of her studies did nights out with her ex boyfriend, Weatherly, sour.

On her last night out at university, Hex met a kind and shy sim named Vaughn. They kept in contact via Hex’s second Social Bunny page, the one under her human form. They then bumped into each other by coincidence at a makerspace in Evergreen Harbour. Fate keeps pulling them together. Is this where Hex’s story is headed?

There was an instant attraction between the two when they first met. They casually flirted, as Hex was in a relationship at the time. Since then, she hasn’t been ready for a relationship. Maybe dipping her toes into the waters of dating will heal the holes in her heart?

Hex feels a flurry of butterflies in her stomach as she sees Vaughn waiting for her at the bar. He’s attracted to her, but she needs something sooner. She’s desperate for companionship. She needs to strengthen his feelings for her, so she can develop hers too…

Full of thoughts, Hex wanders around her home, contemplating her life.

There’s so much of her personality throughout the home that no one can see. Photographs of her loved ones, those she sees and those she doesn’t. Various objects that mean something from her past rest on bookshelves, only reminding her of those she misses.

Stopping before a small table next to her front door, Hex’s gaze roams over a collection of oddities, one of her most recent purchases. She picked up the alien dolls in Strangerville when she purchased a load of bugs to spy on and blackmail sims. The MySims doll was purchased at a flea market, as it embodies her human form.

The best yet most dangerous object is a voodoo doll. She doesn’t remember where it came from, but she’s had it for years. Once bound to a sim, Hex can bend them to her will, making them do whatever she needs. It feels so cruel, but she could use the doll to help her find her true love…

Hex knows there is a sim who’s already attracted to her. She’d feel less guilty by enhancing the feelings of a sim who already likes her.

Pulling out her phone, Hex sends a text and asks a special someone if they’d like to meet up…

Life rolls on. Days pass by. Nothing changes.

Hex’s loneliness hits harder every day. Living with her cat, Diesel, only fills some of the holes in her heart. She throws herself into work, but even her job doesn’t satisfy her anymore. She gets a small boost of happiness from decorating her home, but that’s it.

By living two different lives, Hex thought her life would be full of sims. New faces, new personalities. Instead, she can’t fully trust a single person she works with, as they’re all criminals with their own agendas. Her personal life isn’t going great either.

Looking around her home, Hex realises that the bright colours don’t cheer her up like they used to. She needs more, she just doesn’t know where to find it.

Hex forces herself to get out more, rather than staying at home and chatting to her cat, Diesel. She became a recluse after adopting her fur son. He always looks at her like she’s his whole world. He’s there when she’s had a bad day. He sleeps next to her or pressed up against her in bed. He’s her child and her best friend.

But, Hex needs conversation sometimes. Diesel is a talkative cat, but she can’t understand his advice. If only she could communicate with felines!

The sky is clouded over. It could rain at any moment. Although she wants to stay indoors, Hex changes into her athletic wear and goes for a jog. She needs to stay in physical shape. Her narrow escape from her heist a few days ago showed her she’s not on top form.

Once she gets a fair distance from her home, the skies open up. Torrential rain hammers down around her, soaking her to the skin. A huge sigh escapes Hex as she slows to a walk, not wanting to skid on the puddles forming before her feet.

As she trudges home, feeling miserable, Hex gets a notification from Social Bunny. She pulls out her phone and clicks on the post, seeing that her big sister, Ashe, has uploaded something. Hex feels a wave of loneliness wash over her with the rain. Ashe’s long term partner, Iosphena, has moved in!

Hex likes the post, but tucks her phone away before despair grabs hold of her heart.

Hex’s ill-gotten gains finance a huge expansion of her home!

After selling the piano and some other stolen objects, Hex commissions some of her colleagues in the Llama Gang to add another container onto the side of her home. She gets more space for a spare bedroom, which should be for guests but really becomes her fur son’s room. Diesel loves snoozing away in the sunny spot on the bed whilst Hex runs around causing chaos. There’s another empty room which will become a second bedroom at a later date.

Best of all, Hex has enough money to sink another container beneath the foundations of her home. A ladder around the back of her kitchen connects everything up, forming a secret lair underneath her house.

Hex sets up a couple of chairs and some couches around a huge screen that can be used to plan heists or shipping routes for the gang’s stolen goods. Her listening station moves down here, as well as a computer and research machine. She can even afford a robotics bench, a long term plan to create the perfect partner in crime.

Hex refers to her new routine as dastardly domestic. Even an evil lair needs vacuuming!
