You are missing the point. This is nowhere near the whole story. It is just the opening expanded to fill in some of the story. I am trying to show the way I want to take the story. So others who,want to take it in a different direction can do with my blessing.
 
All good, but at 65, he is probably not as senile as you describe him. The type of behaviour is more fitting for an 80 year old.
No probably not, in an ideal world. However losing wife and family, being on his own for an undetermined length of time plus a concoction of medication all have taken a toll on his body and mind maybe?
 
As the writer the choice would be yours. To go completely twisted, perhaps she always knew, and since he is on multiple medications perhaps he is reliving the affair he had with the mother via the daughter

That was a twist I had thought of. I am not sure how I would get there but it’s something I am hashing through at the moment. Thanks

I am not aware of such rules. Would you be so kind and point me to these Lit forum rules?

I was thinking more a squatter. I am trying to think of a twist.
Why not have her join him in bed, while he's sleeping, she slips in next to him. At some point, he discovers her soft body next to him. Maybe her perfume is intoxicating to him, and he wakes up with an erection

Possibly could work. I do however like the idea of her recalling his wife and sees his wife in this stranger. Working on this premise at the moment.
