Lauren moved to Willow Creek with only a few Simoleons, a fistfull of seed packets, and a vision of a small but beautiful garden. Lauren met Ryder Phelps (NPC) at the library. Their love of collecting and antiquing made them friends but a fateful encounter in the park one night brought them together. Lauren found Ryder, homeless, sleeping on the bench. She offered him the spare room and from there they became best friends and fell in love. #family #baby #willowcreek #legacy #generation
