Upon their return from the mountains, Alexandria and Lawrence Lakes Sr. had some work to do. First thing was to remodel one of their bedrooms into a room for the grandkids. The room hadn’t been touched since the day Larry found his wife cold and motionless on the floor in a pool of her own blood. A day he won’t ever forget. However, it was best that they stop avoiding the room and make it a welcome place for little Milo and Lola when they visit for weekends.
Additionally, they put a pool in the backyard so Larry could get back in shape without compromising his love for the outdoors. It was hard for him to let go of his weights and boxing equipment, but he knew it was for the best. Alex wouldn’t allow anything but swimming, not even a jog around the island.
After all of this, the two who had spent so much of their lives together, lay quietly reminiscing of all the wonderful years they had spent in this house.
