Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

“I… I just can’t explain,” Elysia stammered, her voice trailing off. She was flustered because of the uncanny resemblance between Elijah and Evan, which threw her off balance and made her care more than she should have.

“So, what? You’re taking out your anger on the kid because you’ve got an issue with me? You don’t want to deal with him, you’d rather see him get into trouble?” The accusation stung.

Elysia rolled her eyes, exasperated. “Are you out of your mind? That’s not how you suspect someone. If I didn’t care about him, why would I stay out in the cold after he kicked me out? I would’ve just left!”

“And why can you calm down Corbin, but not Elijah?”

“I… When I found Corbin, he was in the midst of a crisis; it was like he was a patient and I was the doctor. But Elijah wasn’t having a crisis today.

Doctors aren’t miracle workers, and besides… I’m not even a doctor.”
