Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

It took Tarquin a long moment to finally speak.

"You guys are... Quincy, right? Are you really Quincy?"

Elliot nodded again, more seriously this time. "Yeah. We are."

Back then, foreign fighters had mocked Americans, calling them soft, and Bernard couldn't take it. He'd taken on challenger after challenger, fists flying, and showed the world what a real lion's strength looked like.

He was young, ridiculously strong, and so fierce that fighters from half of Europe and the States called him out, denouncing him for breaking the “spirit of sportsmanship" and spreading rumors he must have been doping to be that good.

His feats sent shockwaves around the world.
