He wrote warm wishes to Elizabeth Gonzalez and Kendrick, reminiscing about all the little moments they'd
shared, showing not a trace of gloominess.
Even Elysia Thorne noticed something was different!
After all these years together, this was the first the'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."

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, | 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.
By the tthey broke apart, both of them were a little breathless.
Still leaning against him, Elysia warned, "Okay, I'll stay hlike you want, but if you cback hurt, | swear,
you're sleeping in the guest room for a month-no exceptions!"
Tarquin swallowed hard, his voice low and teasing, "What if | cback in one piece? Do | get a reward?"
Elysia knew exactly where this was headed. Blushing furiously, she whispered, "I'll give you a surprise."
"What kind of surprise?" he pressed.
She rolled her eyes. "If | tell you, it's not a surprise anymore, is it?"
Tarquin grinned. "You even know what I like?"
"You like me," she shot back without hesitation.
He laughed a grin so handsit looked like it belonged in a graphic .
Leaning in, he whispered something in her ear, then nipped at her earlobe. Elysia turned beet red and wriggled
out of his arms. "You just go already!" But Tarquin pulled her right back in. "Did you hear what I said?"
Her face was blazing. “Uh-huh.”
He chuckled, ruffled her hair, and kissed her forehead, clearly reluctant to let her go.
When his phone finally rang, he sighed in defeat. "Lowell's calling. Guess | really have to leave now."
Elysia gave him one last warning, "Don't get yourself hurt! I'd rather you forfeit than get injured, got it?"
Tarquin affectionately tapped her nose. "Don't worry, | have no intention of sleeping in the guest room. Just relax
and wait forI'll be hearly if | can."
They indulged in a few more minutes of cuddling before Tarquin finally headed downstairs.
Lowell was waiting by the door, rolling his eyes. "Ever since you fell for your wife, you've checked out on
everyone
and everything else is love
