The experience with Rudy had been scary, but Beatrice didn't have any dark thoughts. Perhaps it was because she knew that they would be coming; and that the moment she was in Yuri's arms, she felt safe.
Even if they were the mafia, Yuri was right to say that they were still who they are. They treated her well and they loved her unconditionally. They had found her and saved her.
Any lingering doubts she had about them vanished at that moment.
Loving someone meant you accepted all of them: the good, and the bad.
They may be dangerous, but she felt safe with them.
Grandpa Anton poked his head in at that moment, asking, "Is everything all right?"
"Yes, Grandpa," Beatrice said with a smile.
The twins didn't move, not wanting to give up their precious position. They had almost lost her. Luckily, she had not left them because of it.
The twins groaned when Grandpa Anton smacked the back of their heads, "Get up, fools. Treat her injuries."
