I tооk my sоn tо visit my bоyfriеnd’s hоusе — Wе соuldn’t bеliеvе whаt wе fоund in his rооm

I’ve been raising my five-year-old son Luke on my own since forever, and my ex hardly ever sees him. Four months ago, I started dating Jake. He seemed likе a total catch — a teacher who loves kids. When I introduced him to Luke, they hit it off right away. Recently, Jake invited us to his parents’ house by the ocean for some chill time. It sounded perfect, so off we went.

Jake’s parents’ house was a beautiful, old-fashioned beachside cottage, the kind that immediately puts you at ease. As we pulled into the driveway, the scent of saltwater and the sound of seagulls greeted us. Jake’s parents, warm and welcoming, ushered us inside with wide smiles.

The Room That Time Forgot

Jake showed us his old room, a time capsule of his childhood and teenage years. Posters of superheroes and bands adorned the walls, and an array of childhood toys filled the shelves. It was a cozy space, a glimpse into the boy Jake once was. Luke was fascinated and immediately began playing with a set of old action figures.

While Luke was absorbed in his play, Jake and I headed downstairs to catch up with his parents. The kitchen buzzed with the sounds of conversation and laughter, and the living room was filled with the comforting aroma of freshly baked cookies. I felt a sense of peace, thinking how wonderful it was that Jake’s family had accepted us so readily.
