Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Elysia steadied her heart and continued, "Claire mentioned that Emmett's dad still has no clue about Emmett's situation. She wants us to take Emmett and leave as soon as possible the sooner, the better."

Tarquin asked, "What do you think?"

"I believe sneaking Emmett away isn't a solution."

"Huh?" Elysia was taken aback.
