(Reminder Thomas is an ass on purpose as part of both his insanity and commitment issues.) Even though Isabella was old enough to use the stove, Julia still did all the cooking for their family. Thomas tried to sit and eat with the girls once in awhile, but he knew in his heart that parenting just wasn't his thing. So more often than naught he made himself scarce even if he didn't have work. He didn't give much thought to what the girls were up to, so long as the cops or school officials weren't calling him at all hours because of them he just wasn't worried about it. For the most part the girls were content just hanging out at home. Julia was obsessed with the cooking channel. If not at home or work Thomas was out working out. He jogged everywhere, chaffing at the smallness of their island home, or he would go to the gym and work out. Working out constantly helped Thomas on two fronts, he was less likely to argue with himself if he was keeping busy. The other area that working out helped Thomas with was sexual frustration, sometimes locking himself in the bathroom just wasn't enough, he missed the softness of holding another body against his. When he was at the gym he was starting to notice some of the women watching him, despite his bad reputation. Isabella wanted a job even though she knew she didn't have to work, so she took a job at the school. The only draw back in her opinion was not always having enough time to get her school work done. Julia mostly stayed glued to the cooking channel, but every once in a while at Isabella's insistence that she should get out, Julia would sometimes wander off to the fishing hole or the library. On the rare occasion that Thomas graced his daughters with his presence, they would tell him what they had been up to. Julia would quickly run off to watch her favorite shows. Isabella though would try to talk to him about being around more in the role of a parent. Those talks never went well and Thomas would vanish up to his room or out for a jog. One day as Thomas was waking up his phone chimed at him. Checking the screen he saw the reminder for Julia's transition day. Grumbling Thomas made the arrangements for her transition party. The party started out well enough. Julia was thrilled to see her mom. When it came time to blow out the candles on the cake Julia got upset because she had to wait while Isabella went off to find their dad. Julia finally got to blow out her candle, but didn't fully understand why her dad and cousin, who had just barely graduated from school, looked rumpled, or why Isabella was so mad at their dad. During the party Julia learned from Grandma Stevie that the diner offered a culinary training program for interested high school students. When Julia asked her dad, Thomas, if she could go he told her no, and that the regular school was good enough. Crestfallen Julia went to bed early, and was lucky enough to miss the scene their Aunt Lucie made when she dragged their mutual cousin back out of Thomas's room with a hiss, that she really didn't want to ruin her reputation with the likes of him. Thomas felt something inside snap, he hadn't gone out of his way to seduce the girl, and he didn't see it as his fault if she found him and his bad boy reputation and look attractive. He spent the rest of his evening behind closed doors practicing kissing and flirting techniques, he planned on making the most of any future opportunities. He wasn't going to hunt them out, he could let them come to him.
