Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 714

When Elysia woke up, the first thing she saw was a text from Tarquin:

"Ely, just woke up, missing you."

Elysia felt a warm flutter in her heart and texted back, "Missing you too."

No sooner had she sent the message than Tarquin was calling her.

Elysia, phone in hand, headed to the bathroom to freshen up while answering, "That was quick. Have you been glued to your phone?" Tarquin said, "I've set a special alert for your messages. My phone buzzes the second you text. Why are you up so early today?"

"Got to prep a picnic for the kids today. Want to come over for breakfast?"

"I'll pass, got things to do."

"Work stuff?"

"...Yeah."

Elysia didn't pry further, "Well, you're missing out on a delicious opportunity. I'm planning to whip up some real treats."
