Octavia María Salcedo Méndez [wavy brown hair, brown eyes, actress]
Florijan and
Octavia first met four years ago, when
Octavia played a minor role in a musical at the theatre where
Florijan was working. They quickly hit it off, and although
Octavia in particular has been extremely busy with her career, they got married in a small ceremony in Barcelona last year.
Year 1 - Barcelona, Spain
Although it was their careers that brought them together,
Florijan feels that he no longer loves working in theatre like he used to - he has decided to retrain as a primary school teacher, and will study education part-time for the next four years, while maintaining his job in the theatre.

Year 2 - Barcelona, Spain
Between the constant travelling for
Octavia's career,
Florijan's unhappiness at work, and the stress of his degree,
Florijan and
Octavia's marriage has been under a lot of strain. They decide to call it quits, and have divorced - they remain acquaintances, if not exactly friends.

Octavia recently starred in a production of

Romeo, young
Dutch actor
Nico Asjes, asked her out after two weeks of rehearsals, and she happily accepted.
Florijan decided to move back home to Slovenia, and is focusing full time on his education degree.

Octavia and
Nico have welcomed a baby girl,
Olivia. She looks a lot like her father, and is the angel of local press and the international theatre community for several weeks. She's introduced to
Florijan through a Skype call which is intially rather tense, although eventually both he and
Octavia relax a little.

Florijan has completed his degree in education, and found a job as a primary school teacher in central Ljubljana. Every morning, he visits
Lea's bakery - after several months of awkward flirting, they finally got together.

Octavia and
Nico are very surprised when they find out that
Octavia is pregnant - nonetheless, they're delighted to welcome
Joaquín, and
Olivia is thrilled to have a little brother.
Despite how well
Lea's bakery is going, and how much
Florijan loves teaching, they both agree that they have to move when
Lea's mother, who has lived in
London for many years since she divorced
Lea's father, becomes very ill. They sell off their house and the bakery, and rent a two-bedroom flat in
London.
Lea finds work in a local bakery/cafe, and the local primary school is eager to take
Florijan on, despite his less-than-stellar English. They are unsure whether they'll return to Slovenia, or if the triplets will grow up in England.

Year 7 - Barcelona, Spain / London, England
While filming a movie,
Nico suffers a nasty fall and breaks his arm. He finds ways to deal with it and finish shooting, but it's a tough few weeks for everyone.
Lea's new circle of friends in the UK encourage her to try a painting class with them - she finds she loves it, and takes it up as a hobby. Unfortunately,
Lea's mother passes away peacefully in her sleep the same year.
Lea is devastated, and she and
Florijan decide to stay in the UK at least until the end of the year.

Year 8 - Barcelona, Spain / London, England
The past year,
Octavia and
Nico have spent more time apart than they have together, one caring for the children while the other is away filming or performing. When they do spend time together, things are pretty awkward and strained. Eventually, they realise that they have simply fallen out of love, and agree to end things. They are still best friends, and continue to live together to raise
Olivia and
Joaquín, but they are no longer a romantic item.

Year 9 - Barcelona, Spain / London, England
Octavia has the idea of inviting
Florijan and his family over to meet
Nico,
Olivia, and
Joaquín.
Nico is skeptical at first, but relents when he sees how much it means to
Octavia -
Lea is similarly unimpressed when
Florijan tells her, but the triplets are so excited that she can hardly say no, and it turns out that she and
Octavia get along like a house on fire.
Olivia is thrilled to meet her "other brothers and sisters" (no one corrects her on this point), and the Resniks spend a lovely week in Spain. On their last evening,
Florijan impulsively proposes to
Lea, much to
Octavia's delight. Thankfully,
Lea accepts, and they are married in
London in December.

A few weeks after the Resniks leave,
Nico meets someone new - or rather, is introduced to someone new by
Octavia.
Isa is a librarian from Luxembourg who moved to Spain a few years ago, and is a friend of a friend of
Octavia's. She and
Nico get along very well, and are officially dating by October. He's relieved that she is already aware he has two small children - he had no idea how he was going to reveal this to a potential date!

Year 10 - Florence, Italy / Barcelona, Spain / London, England
Octavia is fairly well-known in Spain, as are
Olivia and
Joaquín - she decides, in conjunction with
Nico (and
Isa, whom the kids adore), to move with them to
Florence, where she has some family. The language barrier turns out to be more of a problem for
Octavia than it is for
Olivia and
Joaquín, who absorb languages like sponges! They agree that they would spend half of their school holidays with
Octavia, and half with
Nico and
Isa. However, this arrangement might have to be flexible:

Spending time with
Olivia and
Joaquín made
Isa realise how much she loves children, and so she and
Nico decided to try for one of their own - they end up getting two for the price of one, so to speak.
Olivia adores "Domi" and "
Lia", as she's dubbed them, almost as much as
Octavia does.
Joaquín, for his part, is less impressed.
Florijan returns to Slovenia for two weeks following the passing of his father, to help make arrangements for the funeral and take care of his mother until his brother can get time off work to drive up from Ljubljana.

Year 11 - Vienna, Austria / Barcelona, Spain / London, England
Octavia feels awful for moving her children round so much, but it quickly becomes clear that
Florence isn't the place for them. With
Olivia and
Joaquín's agreement, they move to a flat in Vienna, where
Olivia enrols in school and
Joaquín in nursery.
As her New Year's Resolution,
Isa takes up the guitar - she is a quick learner, and her playing always amuses
Dominik and
Amalia.

London on a permanent basis, as the triplets have started school and made friends there.

London, to quit her job and open her own bakery again.
Florijan is entirely supportive, even though the move puts a strain on their finances for a while.
