Immediately after Doug accepted the proposal, this dude came over.

Doug: Really, bro? … Let me show you how it’s done.

TAKE 2

Doug: lol

The whole thing was actually hilarious, because Doug then proceeded to give Devon flowers until whatshisface finally left. 

Doug accepted (thank God), and Devon expressed her joy by leaping into his arms and smothering him with a hug. 

Doug: What am I getting myself into?

Doug: Devon. What are you doing. I’m the guy. This is my job.

DAMMIT DOUG WHY DO YOU ALWAYS REJECT EVERYTHING? TAKE THE STICK OUT OF YOUR SIM ASS AND WOOHOO WITH HER. IT WON’T HURT YOU.

MUCH.

Doug: I love you. Even though you have a massive head. 

Devon asked Doug to go steady, and to her delight he accepted instead of turning her down like he does for pretty much everything else… 

Doug: See what I have to deal with?

The pair decided to keep things simple and went out for a day of fishing at the nearby pond. Nervous, but eager to impress Doug with her fishing skills, Devon ran toward the pond… Only to narrowly miss tripping and falling in.

Devon: Oh God, I hope he didn’t see that… Um… He’s standing right behind me, isn’t he?

Devon invited Doug over, and things unexpectedly heated up, but in the end they both agreed to keep taking things slow. While Devon slept in preparation for work the next day, Doug pulled an Edward Cullen and watched her for a while before finally picking up a book.

The long search is over! Devon finally decided upon a career in journalism, and to show her commitment, she bought a computer.

Her first article: Animal Crackers & Soup: Satisfying meal, or just a catchy lyric? 

To repair their shaky friendship, Doug and Devon went swimming, and it was there Devon discovered why he wears a beanie all the time—to cover up his uncontrollable golden curls!

Devon: Hey, Goldilocks, you do realize it’s dark and you’re wearing sunglasses?

Doug: Shut up, Flame Brain. 

Feeling bad about rejecting Devon’s kiss, Doug returned to apologize and asked if they could take things more slowly. He then embellished the apology by smoothly presenting her with flowers. Devon appreciated the gift, but hours of swinging had left her with a full bladder. 

The next day, Devon decided the life of a stylist wasn’t for her, so she quit and once again found herself unemployed. Instead of meeting at the bistro for a nice meal, she invited Doug to the more affordable, little hole-the-wall diner. They once again hit it off, and in a giddy fit of excitement, she leaned in for a kiss only to be met with air. Doug’s rejection hurt, but she found ways to cope—such as the nearby swing set. 

After their meeting at the salon, Devon and Doug grabbed a bite to eat and hit the Foosball table for some get-to-know-each-other time. Deciding three was a crowd, they decided to fill the empty dance floor.
