"Thank you, dear. It means a lot," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "So go on the vacation, enjoy yourself, and take good pictures. We need to frame them in our living room."
Lucia chuckled. "Ok, Grandpa. I'll make sure to capture every moment."
Her grandpa's eyes twinkled. "Just don't come back sick, alright?"
Lucia laughed, shaking her head. "I promise."
They shared a warm, comfortable silence. Lucia's grandpa reached across the table, giving her hand a reassuring squeeze. "You're the best thing that ever happened to us, Lucia. Remember that."
"I will, Grandpa.."
Lucia's gaze shifted to Angelina, who was attending to a customer. Turning to her grandpa. "Grandpa, I also have a complaint about your staff."
Her grandpa's eyes met hers. "Tell me."
