Jim nodded while Stephen spoke, letting him get out the entire question before responding. "I really appreciate that you asked, Stephen. You're a good son, and I know you have your mom's best interest in your mind. And to answer your question, it's a resounding yes. Ever since I met your mother, I've felt like a happier guy in general. She's so easy to talk to, and the connection with her is very easy, and personable. Talking with her, and spending time with her, is the best part of my day. I've become addicted to seeing her smile," he replied, chuckling to himself in nervousness.

"So to answer your question, I absolutely see this as long term. I hope she does, too because I'm quite smitten with her," he finished.

Stephen let himself relax, an easy smile forming on his face. "By her actions this afternoon, I'd say she is, too. I haven't seen her act this giddy in quite a while."

Jim nodded, "You know, she thinks very highly of your relations.h.i.+p with Grace. She's told me that last week, about how she wants to look at a man the way Grace looks at you. I think you both have inspired her to seek out the kind of relations.h.i.+p she'd like to have."

Stephen mulled that one over for a few moments before responding. A smile slowly slipped out at the thought of his mother approving of his relations.h.i.+p with Grace, especially given the fact that she had such strong suspicions in the beginning. It was a complete turnaround from her first impression, and he said a silent thank you about having her full approval.

Finally, he spoke up in agreement, "Well, Grace is pretty special." He grinned inwardly, thinking to himself if only Jim knew how special Grace really is.

He smiled, and said, "So is your mother."

From that moment on, Jim was okay in his book. He decided that he was going to be his own personal cheerleader, and support their relations.h.i.+p together. It wasn't easy to see a man attempt to date your own mother, but Jim was the man to do it for Theresa Willow.
