After narrating the whole thing to Janet, Flora sighed heavily.

"There's no need to worry about this. How do you feel about the boy?" She asked.

"He's good to me. We are still getting to know each other better. Honeymoon period, you know," Flora replied her truthfully.

She was still young but not too young to start taking her relationship seriously. Some times, one could feel it when the other is the right person. The boy doesn't have to be a perfect being, but on her baby girl's checklist, he had to be perfect. Absolutely no red flags tolerated!!!

"You've been dating for a while now. Do you see yourself with him long-term?" In order to proceed with the plan she had in mind, she needed Flora's full commitment.

Flora thought about it for a while before nodding her head.

"Although he's my first boyfriend," she started, "he fits my Mr. Right."

"I'm not asking for much. Just someone who will care for me and put in the same energy or even more into our relationship."

Janet acknowledged her train of thought and smiled. She never expected anything less from Flora. More than her real granddaughter, Seraphina, she definitely felt closer to Flora. Flora was the same as her, but she just hadn't tapped into her full potential yet.

Janet smirked as she thought of ways to break this little girl and turn her into a true successor of her bountiful perverted knowledge.

"OK then. Let's discuss our plan."

Hearing this, Flora became more attentive.

"First: meet the parents. You'll need to pick a date with the boy."

"Second: on your visit, personally find out their preferences. It'd help if the other girl was present. She'd definitely try to show off her close relationship with her possible in-laws, so you'll learn what they like faster."

"Third: start with the dad. Once you've broken the dad, you've won about 75%."

"Fourth, don't miss any chance at being petty. Everytime Frank brings up the matter of the other girl, create an angelic image of yourself and a demonic image of her, so your man knows what he's doing."

Flora was shocked with all of these ideas. Wasn't this plainly ingratiating herself with Frank's family? Did granny J really think she was so thick-faced?

As if reading Flora's mind, Janet stopped listing.

"My dear, don't see this series of action as kissing their derriere. You need to see it as getting to know your future in-laws, so they can prepare a room for you in their home."

Flora smacked her forehead. What was the difference?

...

Frank was also receiving a similar lecture.

"Boy. It is time for you to adopt a new family. Flora's family!."
