He cupped her face in his weathered hands, his thumbs brushing away her tears with gentle tenderness. "I never did any of those things because I needed your thanks, baby girl," he said softly.

"Please, promise me that you'll consider it." Her mother nodded. "I will." Suddenly, a broad smile spread across her face. "Now! Let's enjoy this fine meal, shall we?" Then she glanced over at Grayson. "Would you say the blessing?" Grayson nodded, taken aback. It had been years since he had prayed, even a blessing. "I'd be glad to." After they joined hands, he said a beautiful blessing over the meal, but concluded with. "And please keep safe those who are with us... and those we don't know about yet. Amen."

He looked pleased as he broke into a huge smile. "It is my honor that my granddaughter managed to find such a good man. All I can say to the two of you is that you should love and cherish each other. This life is short to fight over meaningless things. Cherish every moment that you spend together and you will grow old holding each other’s hand." Lavender's grandfather said. He was also extremely happy that his granddaughter finally got rid of the knot in her heart and decided to give Robert another chance. "Thank you, grandfather, for your blessings. I will never forget what you have taught me." Lavender said tears brimming at the rim of her eyes.

My mouth tingled with electricity from that brief contact and his leather and spice smell assaulted my nose, filling my lungs and making my head spin. "Congratulations," my grandfather said, "I wish_" he coughed, "I wish it didn't have to be like this, Isa. I only wish your parents had been alive to witness your first marriage." My eyes suddenly felt hot and I blinked rapidly to push back the tears that threatened my vision, "Me too." "Come closer," he beckoned and I immediately obeyed, going to his side.

"I don't suppose the gods mention if she's a simpleton or bucktoothed hag?" Grandfather waved his concern away. "Looks do not matter." "Says the man who married a gorgeous woman," Acat muttered. An evil grin momentarily tilted his grandfather's lips. "I am favored by the gods. Now, if you're done questioning, I, that is, the gods, have spoken. On thy way shall thee get, young warrior, returning not empty handed." "Never saw Star Wars, my ass," Acat muttered. Puffing his pipe, Grandfather smirked as he winked. "Sage am I, young one."

I was more than excited to enjoy the dinner, and I thanked my grandfather with a big smile. He smiled back at me, his eyes shining with warmth. "I'm proud to have you as my granddaughter, Avery," he said. "You've made life fun for me again.

“I just can’t believe that you had to go through all this. What you father did to you was horrible. No offense but your mother also did wrong.
