With Tom clearly out of the running to be Emily's new husband, the girl has been prowling the town looking for a better candidate. After stopping in at the local diner for diner one night (soup can only be eaten so many days in a row), she literally stopped every single male in the area, introduced herself and asked their marital status. If they were single, she stopped to talk. If they weren't, she walked away with barely a goodbye. This was a woman on a mission!

While in the middle of introducing herself to one of the men there, her attention was immediately grabbed by a Fabio look a like who had just walked up to the diner doors. I don't believe she even got the name of the sim she was currently standing in front of, for her jaw dropped when she realised this handsome god of a sim was wearing... a tool belt. Never before had she been so attracted to a sim other than Adrian. Good looks and he was handy?! She couldn't be that lucky...

And no, she wasn't. It seems Mr Fabio wanna-be there is already taken. I considered whispering in her ear that it didn't matter and to pursue it anyway, but Emily's a good girl. And he didn't really seem that interested lol.

After introducing herself to another five or so men, Emily was feeling deflated and questioning the gods if there were any eligible men left in town. It was at that moment, when she was about to hail a cab and just go home, that she met Rainer. Interestingly enough, Rainer introduced himself to her. The first man she didn't have to chase down to get their name lol. Tired, deflated and feeling very sorry for herself, she half-heartedly asked if he was single... he was!

Hearing that unexpected answer, her mood immediately picked up and she proceeded to introduce herself properly. Right away these two hit it off, with the conversation flowing and the body language saying it all.

Emily was clearly interested and liked what she saw as she kept having Rainer's image pop up with a smiley face beside it. Either that or she was just happy to finally found a sim that was worth talking to lol. I personally can't see what she might see in him, he's certainly not my type of sim. Thankfully though, I'm not the one needing the man...

Rainer liked being liked it seems, as every time Emily paused and "checked him out" as per the image above, Rainer would lean in real close and just smile.

All of a sudden, Emily had the image of a steak dinner pop up. Now, she had just eaten, so she couldn't be hungry. Perhaps she might be thinking she's happy she came here for dinner? But I don't remember the deep fried diner serving steak last time I went there. Maybe she's thinking that the two of them should go out to dinner? You think? Or maybe, just maybe, given her current mind set, she sees him as nothing more than a piece of meat?

Apparently though, Rainer is ok with this line of thought LOL!

Given how late it was getting, and the fact that she had two kids at home waiting for her, Emily decided she should call it a night and say goodbye. Feeling lucky, and having such success with Rainer so far, Emily approached a 'first kiss' to say goodnight...

Unfortunately for her, this was not on the cards so early in the game. Upset and feeling shut down, Emily hoped that perhaps this just meant Rainer was a gentleman? Then again... maybe not?

Right as she was leaving, Rainer stopped her and asked for money?! Shocked and taken by surprise, Emily didn't give him any, thankfully. But, what a scum bag! Oh the poor girl, suddenly I could see her questioning their interactions and how agreeable he was to all of her thoughts and interest. This man doesn't care about a relationship at all! He just wants to know how deep her pockets might run!

Well I hope you realise you just waisted your time barking up the wrong money tree Rainer, you couldn't have picked a poorer sim in town! Now bugger off scumbag!!

Oh poor Emily...
