Chapter Three – Lynn

Lynn had cleaned and scrubbed through the night, and well into the early hours of the morning. Where she’d gotten the energy from, she had no idea, but she put it down to the nervous excitement of the huge task ahead.

Then she’d slept, too exhausted to do anything other than fall onto the lumpy sofa in the sitting room, which she’d covered with a couple of blankets and a pillow. There was no bed upstairs, and she couldn’t face the dining room and the bare single bed her Uncle Freddy had died in.

Her furniture would be arriving in a couple of days, although now she was wondering if she should have sold it all instead of moving it halfway across the country. Except for her bed, and a couple of other pieces of furniture, she intended to buy everything new to fit in with the character of the farmhouse.

Thoughts of lumpy sofas had soon slipped away as sleep her took her; they were replaced by images of mountains and trees. The house cocooned her, the sounds of the wind outside lulled her, and the animal noises in the distance—cattle lowing, a wolf howling, and the roar of a bear somewhere in the distance—soothed her. A sense of belonging crept over her, like a warm blanket that she wanted to tuck underneath her so no one could ever pull it off.

When she woke, she lay on her side, resting her head on her pillow, watching the clouds flow across the sky, big, white, fluffy, an endless stream to who knew where. How many times she had wished she could float away on such a cloud, to a place where she was free to be herself.

She had tried to fit into the mold her parents created for her, but she simply didn’t. Neither her looks nor personality were suited to the hotel trade. Lynn hated the formal suits she was expected to wear for work; she hated the fact she was at work, even when she was at home, and she hated having to smile and be nice when guests were being unreasonable.

She shifted her weight. Her body was a snug fit on the sofa, and she had some kinks she needed to iron out. She also had some curvy bits that needed ironing too. Lynn giggled. The only thing that was going to shift her extra pounds was hard work and exercise. Not that she hadn’t tried that already, using the stairs instead of the elevator in the hotel business meant she should have been stick-thin, but it was never happening. Ever. Her curves were a part of who she was and always would be.

With voluptuous breasts, which she’d had to grow into—an early developer, was her mom’s excuse for her daughter at age thirteen, when the rest of her friends were still flat-chested, with only dreams of having the breasts men would take notice of—and curvy thighs, along with a stomach that was never going to be flat, no matter how many crunches she did, Lynn was the opposite of her mom.
