Tarquin asked reluctantly, “Can't I listen?”
“No.”
“Then can I go play cards with them?” Tarquin asked.
Elysia was speechless. Had he been possessed by a comedian? Other men, when they were out, were terrified of anyone finding out they were whipped. He, on the other hand, seemed terrified that people *wouldn't* know his status in the family!
Helplessly, Elysia tried to act nonchalant. “Go, go. I support whatever you want to do.”
Only then did Tarquin get up with a smile. “Call me if you need anything.”
“I know.” *Just go, please just go.*
