A new lease of life for Dan
Dan, it seemed, was good friends with Malcolm Landgraab IV's wife, Jancine. They became more than good friends.
At age 75, Dan had found a new love. When he found out Jancine had fallen pregnant he decided to retire from his business and focus on his new responsiblity. He transferred ownership of his bookshop (now rank 7) to his daughter Jan.
Jancine gave birth to a girl and Dan suggested the name of Jasmine (after his long-deceased lover Jasmine Gregory). Malcolm wasn't too pleased. The story of Jancine's eviction from Malcolm's house is at the Landgraab blog. When Dan heard that Jancine and his baby daughter were now living in a hovel, he invited Jancine over and proposed.
Jancine was happy to accept and moved in. Dan brought his new daughter inside.
Dan and Jancine married without ceremony in the bedroom.
Dan's adult daughter, Jan, was asleep the whole time. I wonder what she thought of the whole situation - having a new sister and a "stepmother" only a little older than herself.
Will Dan live long enough to see his fifth child grow?
