Grandpa Vlad- Part 2

Leave it on Lucy to think the worst person to be a decent person, thought Theodore in his mind. But then that was what made her his Lucy. The ability to not see the worst and to see the best in everything was a gift and, at the same time, a curse. And he decided to turn it into a complete gift while eliminating anything or anyone who would come to harm her. 

Pecking her lips, he smiled. Happy to see the lost smile on her face return after many years, he intended to keep it this way for the rest of their lives. 

"It is nice you know, our family is getting extended," said Lucy in a thoughtful tone. "First it was just me and brother Cal, but now we are all related to each other. Calhoun is married to Madeline, you, who is his best friend, married his sister, so now you two are brother-in-laws. Then we have Vladimir, who is our new grandpa."
