 * Grinder family 1364 Dargail Lane

 * §2,299
 * Thomas Jones, Lucy Jones
 * Thomas has secretly been in love with Alice for years, but he is too shy to let her know his true feelings. When Alice unexpectedly moves back to Garden Heights, Thomas wonders if he has been given another chance to let her know how he really feels. Thomas yearns to be a police officer but feels he is not qualified. Perhaps his timidity and shyness will crumble when he finds his courage by helping Alice as much as he can.
