Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1642

Keaton was restless and uneasy. "I think it sounds like Winona is sick, maybe she’s dealing with some private lady issues, don't you think?"

Tarquin said, "I don't get that feeling."

Elysia's sudden decision to stay was definitely because of Winona, but he couldn't guess the specific reason.

Keaton scratched his head. "If she's really sick, she needs to get treated right away! We can't delay!"

"But how could she be sick? Look how healthy she looks. She can eat and sleep just fine."

"You don't think she actually went out and found some random boy toy and picked something up?"

"No way. She's not an idiot. She wouldn't just sleep with anyone. He'd have to be healthy, at least!"

"And if she really had some major illness, Elysia would have woken her up and taken her for a check-up immediately!"

"Then what the hell is wrong with her?"

Keaton was clucking like an old biddy.

Tarquin narrowed his eyes, watching him suspiciously. When Keaton finally finished, he asked, "Are you falling for Winona?"

Keaton froze. "No! Don't be ridiculous!"

Tarquin stared at him, skeptical. "…"

"We were drunk that night, and yeah, we slept together, but it was an accident," Keaton said.

"You seem pretty concerned about her," Tarquin observed.

"She's Elysia's best friend, and my parents absolutely adore her. I slept with her, you think I'm not terrified?"

Tarquin clarified, "I'm not talking about being scared. I'm talking about being concerned."
