Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Axel stood there, frozen in confusion, as if pushing her away was wrong, but so was not pushing her away. After a moment of hesitation, he blurted out,

"There's a line we shouldn't cross."

But Blossom, as if she hadn't heard him, clung to him even tighter.

Axel, with his headset on, heard Tarquin's voice in his ear,

"If you've reached the spot, don't rush in. They've got guns, you..."

"I'm already on it."

No sooner had Axel spoken than he sensed danger behind him. He swiftly scooped up Blossom and dodged.

Bullets whizzed past them as Axel furrowed his brow, clutching Blossom tightly and taking cover behind a pillar,

"Close your eyes and stay put."

Obediently, Blossom shut her eyes, trembling in his arms.

After a second's hesitation, Axel gently pushed her aside and darted away.
