Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 672

The more Tarquin thought about it, the more his heart raced. Without another moment's hesitation, he turned and swam back to shore with all his might.

He couldn't let things progress to a point of no return!

He couldn't wait any longer!

He couldn't afford to live with regret, couldn't stand the thought of Elysia being swept off her feet by Keith and then having to nurse his wounds in solitude!

He had to find Elysia, to open up his heart to her, to confess his feelings!

He had to make his feelings known to Elysia before Keith had a chance to whisk her away!

He wanted to tell her, he loved her, was madly in love with her!

He was nearly going insane because of her!

Tarquin swam from the ocean's embrace back to shore, the chilly wind cutting through his drenched clothes, stimulating his skin. He didn't feel cold, though; instead, he felt a burning heat inside!

At that moment, a fierce fire was blazing within his heart!

Getting back to his car, he grabbed his phone only to see missed calls and messages from Elysia!

Surprised and thrilled, seeing her concerned and worried words made him come alive, grinning like an idiot.
