Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Elysia's voice broke with emotion, "But what if we can't find that person?"

Tarquin had already thought of a backup plan.

"If we really can't find them, then we'll just have to let go of managing Hawkins Navigation. But I'll still support them from the shadows, keep them safe from harm. I'll make sure they're well-off as a way to repay their kindness towards you."

As he spoke, Tarquin gently wiped away Elysia's tears.

"If you want to go back to Oceanopolis and reconnect with them, I'll be with you every step of the way. And if you dread the backstabbing politics of the elite and don't want to face the Hawkins family, then we won't go back.

Whatever you decide, I'm here for you, to support you. I'll always be by your side.

And don't feel burdened. We can find other ways to repay their kindness."

Tarquin didn't want her to compromise her happiness out of a sense of obligation.

If times got tough, they would just help from the shadows.

He had thought everything through for her, allowing her to follow her heart.
