Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 689

Elysia didn't get home to Future Community until after 10 p.m.

Tarquin had been reluctant to let her go; parting with her felt like leaving a piece of his heart behind. But Elysia hadn't seen her kids in over a day and was missing them terribly.
