The Gym

Inside, Steven could not believe his eyes. Beyond the door lay a full furnished gym, like something straight out of a fitness magazine wet dream. State of the art machines, a full wall of posters and directions, an entire line of free weights, kitchen area with all sorts of high end equipment, massage tables. You name it, and it was in that room.

"Isn't this AMAZING?", Amy cheered.

"It is," Steven exclaimed, flabbergasted at just how immaculate everything was. "And to think that Dad-"

"Charles," Amy interjected.

"Er, yeah. "Charles" had something like this place hidden away from us the entire time..."

Amy giggled, totally astounded at what looked like hundreds of thousands of dollars of electronics and exercise equipment was just FREELY given over to them at no extra cost.

"Well, it's HIS loss! That asshole deserves to lose more than this, but I think his screwing someone else behind my back more than means we definitely deserve this, yeah?"

Steven just nodded his head before taking a good look around. In particular, what seemed like a state of the art shower, that also had a control panel for extra features.

"Cool! Seems like this shower also doubles as a sauna! And has more than one... shower head..."

Steven noticed his mom was over by the free weights in front of the mirrors. As he watched, he noticed that there was a look of intensity in her eyes as she lifted what seemed like some super light weights. But the look was super determined all the same.

"Mom," Steven called out. "Are you sure you should be doing that? We still have a lot of unpacking to do."

Amy's concentration broke, and realizing what she was doing, quickly put the weights back before wiping her hands with a somewhat sheepish grin.

"Sorry, honey! I don't know what came over me. I was looking at the weights, and started to wonder what I looked like while working out. Next thing I know, I'm imagining me getting in shape and finding someone again. And rubbing Charles' nose about leaving us. And then you spoke up and-"

Steven raised his hand, letting her know it was alright.

"I understand. But we gotta finish getting the house together before you go about getting swole and whatnot."

"Swole," Amy echoed, chuckling.

Steven took his leave of the room. Amy was quick to follow, but when she reached the door, she turned to look at the gym. Something about this room just commanded her attention. Reaching over to the light switch by the door, Amy's eyes regained their intensity. She knew that this might be her favorite room in the house, now. That she'd show Charles that he had messed up. That he would regret leaving her. And that this room was the key to becoming a whole new, better, stronger her. One that would show up both that lying, conniving pig of an ex AND that young slut he left her for. Show the world what the will of one woman could do.

One word echoed through her mind as she imagined the possible future she could have, as her lips curled into a devious smile.

"Swole."

She turned off the lights and closed the door to her brand new gym.

And the House knew it had her. Now, it had to get the male that came in with her.
