Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Tarquin's brow furrowed deeply as he glanced towards Verity. Had that phone call been from him?

What had he said to Verity? Had he threatened her?

"Dad, when are you coming home?" The little guy sounded serious.

"What's up?"

"Elijah and I stumbled upon something big!"

"What is it?"

"...Let's talk when you get back."
