Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Evan couldn't bear to think further, the pain was just too much...

Stepping out from the opposite side of the car, he hurried towards Elliot with a sense of urgency.

They stood at the main entrance, their gaze fixed on the scene before them, feeling nothing but a deep sense of sorrow.

Tarquin, usually so strong and indomitable, was now a shadow of himself, hunched over and weeping into Elysia's shoulder. He resembled an eagle with its wings clipped, radiating vulnerability that tugged at the heartstrings.

Even the strongest among us came into this world from our mothers, starting as helpless infants and growing bit by bit.

The trio felt a profound empathy for both Tarquin and Elysia.

Tarquin's pain was palpable, and it was clear Elysia shared in his suffering.

While their hearts ached, they also felt a burning anger towards Gideon, an anger that ran deep.

Elliot sniffled hard, leading his brothers upstairs to the den, leaving Tarquin and Elysia in the privacy they needed.

Only Elysia could soothe Tarquin's wounded soul, for it was only with her that he allowed himself to be truly vulnerable.

Once inside, Elliot immediately asked Evan, "What's the situation at Sage Hall now?"
