After her divorce in Boston, Abbie moved to a new city in Florida and bought a ramshackle lakefront home. The locals had kept one secret from her about the lake. While she scoped out the local boys for talent and muscle to help fix up her house, she developed a love of swimming in the lake, sometimes for hours. The lake changed her slowly into something new and monstrous, but somehow she didn't seem to mind. The ending was telegraphed pretty far in advance, but I liked the anticipation. A very well-written and enjoyable short story.
