“Sweetheart, come over here to Great-Grandma.”
The little girl darted into the lab.
“Great-Grandma, Daddy, what are you looking at?”
Tracey beamed, eyes warm with affection.
“I’m showing your dad some of my special collectibles.”
“Those tiny bottles over there?”
“That’s right.”
Baby’s big, round eyes sparkled with curiosity as she stared at the eight little vials lined up on the table.
“Great-Grandma, what’s inside these bottles?”
“Monsters,” Tracey replied, a hint of mischief in her smile.
“Huh?! Like, real monsters?”
“Mhm! Tiny monsters that can eat people!”
“Whaaat?!” Baby’s face was a picture of shock.
She’d clearly inherited Elysia’s trusting nature—anything Tracey said, she believed, easy to amuse and even easier to fool.
The thought of people-eating monsters sealed up in those bottles made her a bit nervous. She scurried behind Tarquin and clung to his shirt.
“Daddy, I’m scared.”
Tarquin turned, bent down, and scooped her up. “Don’t be, kiddo. Daddy’s here.”
Tracey chuckled.
“Monsters are scary, sure, but every monster has a weakness. Baby, want to help Great-Grandma research how to beat them?”
Curiosity lit up Baby’s face. Her voice was tiny and sweet:
“Is their weakness superheroes? Like Captain America or Iron Man?”
Tracey grinned.
“We’re not studying superheroes today—we’re looking at legendary heroes! Like Perseus, Hercules, and King Arthur!”
Baby’s eyes grew even wider.
“Wow! Were they really strong?”
Tracey nodded.
