It's only implied that they'll date after like 7 years (he goes to college & becomes a teacher and they don't meet at all during that time) but there is also a doctor who was from her class in high school who has a daughter I think. It's implied that she's already in a relationship with the Dr but the mistress son protects her from his own mother when she tries something again. I really don't like huge age gaps bc you should really be with someone around your age (I can't even think of what I would talked about with someone 10+ yrs younger enough to date them, it gives grooming vibes). I'm only reading this for the revenge since there isn't any romance at all she's only getting information from the kid. I really do hope they don't get together It's such a groomer/pedo concept being with someone so young

maybe back then in the 20th century, 15~ year age gaps where the younger person was 18~ yo was normalized. nowadays, most people recognize the only way for this kind of age gap to be ok if the younger person was late 20s. if it 25 or younger, such an age gap are frowned upon. im sure in other areas in the US, it's still considered fine, but the general sentiment is that it's not.
i mean, i know there's a time skip and all, but being with someone 17 years younger than u is pretty wack.
