Year 0 - Montreal, Canada
DH [29]: Romain Mathys Caron (curly blonde hair, brown eyes, painter)
DW [27]: Mynte Helene (Larsen) Caron (wavy black hair, grey eyes, nurse)
Romain is a Montreal native who makes a living selling his paintings - he met Danish nurse Mynte after a trip to A&E with a broken leg (which, luckily, didn't stop him painting). They live together in a two bedroom apartment and got married recently.
Year 1 - Montreal, Canada
DH [30]: Romain Mathys Caron (curly blonde hair, brown eyes, painter)
DW [28]: Mynte Helene (Larsen) Caron (wavy black hair, grey eyes, nurse)
DD1 [0]: Sophie Ingrid Caron (curly black hair, brown eyes)
Romain and Mynte are surprised when they find out they're expecting a baby girl, and grateful for their apartment's extra room when their daughter Sophie is born.
Year 2 - Montreal, Canada
The six months after Sophie's birth are some of the most stressful that Romain and Mynte have ever gone through - Romain starts spending more time painting at his studio, leaving Mynte to pick up the slack when it comes to childcare. When Sophie is a year old, Mynte discovers that Romain was in fact having an affair with another artist. Although he swears he's no longer seeing her, Mynte tells him they're over and asks Romain to move out.
Year 3 - Montreal, Canada
Mynte, trying to deal with the stress of being a working single mother and finalising her divorce from Romain, takes up yoga.
Year 4 - Montreal, Canada
DGf [31]: Mynte Helene Larsen (wavy black hair, grey eyes, nurse)
DBf [30]: Lukas Sebastiaan Van Kamm (wavy black hair, green eyes, tennis player)
DGf's DD [3]: Sophie Ingrid Caron (curly black hair, brown eyes)
While at work, Mynte treats Dutch professional tennis player Lukas Van Kamm, who had been training in Montreal - they hit it off instantly, and he is not fazed when she introduces him to Sophie (who adores him). They start dating, although it quickly becomes a long-distance relationship, as Lukas technically lives in the Netherlands and spends a lot of time travelling the world to play.
