Lydia sat on an outdoor sofa on the deck by the lake. Her sketch pad is on her lap, a pencil in her hand but her gaze is on a distant looking at something that is not even there.
She heard the bell ring but before she could stand up to answer the door, Mrs. Collins had beat her into it and told her to stay. For a moment, she wonders who was the couple's visitor since they rarely get one.
The lake house is in a secluded place and they don't even have a neighbor. Mr. and Mrs. Collins, as far as she knows preferred living in the tranquility that's why they decided to leave their life in the city and choose to retire in the house that Mr. Collins intentionally built by the lake away from the noise and mess of the city or town.
No one knows of the place except for Mr. and Mrs. Collins' two children who already have a family and life of their own in the city.
