“If you really want to give it a shot with him, your mom and I won’t stand in your way.”
Kylie smiled too. “That’s right, Lucinda. We just want you to find someone you can really count on. How about you bring him home sometime and let us meet him properly?”
Lucinda had expected this. Of course, they wouldn’t say no. As soon as she had a new boyfriend, she’d stop fighting Lydia for Connor. It was obvious where their loyalty truly was.
“Okay, Mom, Dad. I haven’t actually said yes to him yet, and this week’s too soon anyway. Maybe next week, I’ll bring him over for dinner with everyone.”
Cameron nodded. “That sounds good, Lucinda. Your mom and I wish you all the happiness in the world.”
Lucinda couldn’t help rolling her eyes a little, even if only in her head. Happiness? Sure. She was pretty sure they were secretly celebrating.
“Thanks, Mom, Dad. I’ll go tell Grandpa so he doesn’t keep worrying about me.”
Kylie and Cameron both nodded. “Sure. Your grandpa will be happy for you too.”
Mr. Norwood was in his study, practicing calligraphy. When he saw Lucinda, he immediately set his pen down and watched her warmly. “Weren’t you out with your friends? You’re back early today.”
Something about seeing her grandpa made all her feelings bubble up. She didn’t even know how much he genuinely cared about her anymore, but he had always been the one who loved her most.
“Grandpa, are you still upset with me?”
She walked over to him like a little kid who’d gotten caught doing something wrong, her expression apologetic.
Mr. Norwood gave her a gentle sigh. “Do you realize your mistake now?”
