Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem ( Elysia and Tarquin) novel Chapter 797

Tarquin was a complete mess of emotions!

His heart, once knotted with anxiety and guilt, now unraveled in a wave of pure love.

Tears blurred his vision; he could no longer see her clearly, but his heart's voice rang louder and clearer than ever.

Love her! So deeply in love with her!

To love her for all eternity…

"Splash—"

Elysia tumbled into the crystal-clear ocean waters.

Her entire body was instantly enveloped by the sea, the air around her consumed by water, bringing an overwhelming sense of suffocation.

She couldn't swim, and losing control over her body, she started to sink helplessly like a rootless leaf unable to command its own destiny, left at the mercy of the vast ocean.

Her eyes tightly shut, she couldn't see her surroundings, only feeling the currents swirling around her, her body continuing its descent.

In the past, she would have been terrified, frantically struggling for survival.

But today, she didn't struggle, didn't resist, closing her eyes and letting her body sink towards the ocean floor, towards the unknown, potentially dangerous depths…

Because she knew, there was a man who would dive in to save her.

Without a second thought, ready to brave the depths to rescue her.

Tarquin plunged into the water, spotting her instantly.

Her dark hair floated like silk, her white dress billowing around her, she was like a pure, unnamed flower blooming beneath the waves.

Tarquin, worried yet enthralled, swam faster towards her.

Drawing close, he reached out to encircle her slender waist, lifting her into his arms, holding her close.

In that moment, even the ocean currents seemed to soften.

Elysia opened her eyes to find Tarquin's gaze, filled with deep affection and passion.

Their eyes locked, time seemed to stand still, the world around them fading away, leaving only each other.

In the water, their gazes intertwined, igniting the flame of love in their hearts without a single word spoken.

Elysia, her cheeks flushed, wrapped her arms around his neck, silencing him with her lips.

In that manner, she answered him: Yes, I agree!

A room filled with ripples, a tide of passion.

As the sun set, the sky was painted with hues of color, the fiery orange glow standing out, as passionate and unrestrained as a blazing fire.

The sea, under the glow of the sunset, shimmered, dazzlingly beautiful.

The rhythmic crashing of the waves against the shore, the 'slap slap' sound mingling with the calls of seabirds, stirred the imagination…

…

Elysia woke the next afternoon, lazily opening her eyes to find Tarquin lying beside her, propped up on one arm, gazing at her.

His eyes soft with affection.

Seeing her wake, his lips curved into a smile, “Wife.”
