Barbara Lake was not the biggest fan of change.
But spending the rest of her life with Walter is the perfect example of change she can't wait to experience.
__________________________
Barbara Lake was not the biggest fan of change.
After her husband cheated on her and then disappeared, leaving her and their son all alone, it was up to her to adapt, which had her feeling most days like all she wanted to do was stay in bed, cry her heart out, and give up on life itself. She couldn't be blamed for falling into such a pit of depression. James Lake Sr. had been the love of her life. He really had. To lose him like she had hurt beyond comprehension. But Barbara Lake had persevered, in both her education to become a doctor and in the care of her son. Those two things were the only reason why she kept on pushing forward—why she never gave up.
She received her diploma when Jim was ten. And that was a big change in itself because it allowed her to quit that cashier job at the mini mart and actually make better money to sustain both her and her son comfortably. After that, her life consisted of work and raising Jim. Those were her only priorities for years to come. For the longest time, she thought that was how her life would always be—just her and Jim, and she was okay with that. She truly was because she couldn't picture a better life. She couldn't ask for anything else.
But then she met Walter, and things started to change uncertainly. Her stomach started to flutter whenever she thought of him. Her heart would beat faster every time she saw him. As a young adult herself with a stubborn son already well into his teens, she had never even considered the idea of love again. Love had been the farthest thing from her mind. But when she realized she had fallen for Walter, well, that was the kind of change that scared her so badly that she tried to avoid it at first.
But there was no avoiding it. Not forever. Walter became a constant thought in her mind. She found herself unable to stop texting him... or smiling down at his message like a teenage girl. She couldn't say no when he asked her out on their first date. She couldn't find it in herself to pull away when he leaned in to kiss her for the first time.
She couldn't stay away from him.
Like she had suspected (and worried countlessly over), Jim hadn't been for the idea of his mother and Walter dating. He'd made it extremely obvious from the beginning that he didn't want them together. He was even straightforward with her when he asked her if she would stop seeing him.
