After all these years together, this was the first time he'd been so laid-back while dealing with anything related to Elizabeth and Kendrick.

After dinner, Tarquin Bradford was getting ready to head out to the Punikon gym for a sparring match.

While Elysia helped him fix his shirt and straighten his tie, she couldn't help but tease, "You and Elliot were upstairs alone after lunch-what did you two talk about that's got you in such a good mood?"

Tarquin couldn't hide his pride. "Elliot said I'm a great dad. That I'm an amazing father and a pretty decent guy overall."

A smile curled at Elysia's lips. "No wonder you're so happy! Your son's stamp of approval, huh?"

Tarquin nodded. “That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.”

Elysia finished with his tie, letting her hands rest on his shoulders. "Well, I think you're not only a wonderful dad-you're also a pretty fantastic husband."

Tarquin's eyes narrowed playfully. "Now that's the sweetest thing I've ever heard." He slid his hand around her waist, pulled her close, and kissed her deeply. Elysia rose up on her toes, melting into his kiss.
