Tarquin froze for a moment, then wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into a tight embrace. Suddenly,
he took the lead, leaning in and kissing her...
The fireworks show ended, and so did their kiss.
The two of them held each other for a while, catching their breath, before sharing a smile. Hand in hand, they
started strolling back toward the cozy cabin.
As they walked, they chatted quietly.
"So, what happened to those jerks?" Elysia asked.
"They're scared out of their minds-just as planned," Tarquin replied with a smirk.
Elysia didn't press for details about his plan. Instead, she asked again, "You're sure nothing's going to go wrong?"
"Absolutely sure. Don't worry."
"Oh, by the way, did Bernard see that guy? You know, the one with all the scars on his face?"
Tarquin nodded. "Yeah. Bernard told you?"
"No, but when Bernard cback, he was acting strange, trying to smile but clearly upset. What's the story
there? What's his connection with that guy?"
Tarquin hesitated before answering, "They're old friends-well, more like rivals. Sold grudge, but it's been
sorted out. By the way, did you talk to Grandma about the virus yet?" He lied, steering the conversation away.
The truth was, Bernard's grudge with the scar-faced thug went way deeper than he wanted Elysia to know-there
had been violence, even deaths, and international trouble. He didn't want her to worry about it.
Elysia didn't question it further. She just sighed and looped her arm through his. "Not yet. We started cleaning up
as soon as you left."
"Those jerks took over Grandma and Grandpa's house, so Grandma was grossed out-she changed all the sheets

"Once we finished tidying up, we started getting dinner ready. | haven't had a chance to talk to Grandma about
the virus yet."
Tarquin nodded. "No rush. It can wait."
"Yeah, | figure I'll tell her after dinner."
"Sounds good."
Dinner was at Tracey's place, and they had a classic fondue night.
The older folks were in good spirits. After giving Tarquin a stern warning, they quickly forgave and forgot. They
treated him like their own grandson-in-law, one more enthusiastic than the next.
With the kids' laughter ringing through the cabin, the place felt warm and lively- full of that special kind of family
comfort.
Not long after dinner, the little ones
drifted off to bed. They'd been
