Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 342

"Hey! Get up!"

Elysia was desperate to get him to leave and head back to his own place!

But no matter how much she moved her mouth, swung her arms, or kicked her legs, like a little tornado trying to whisper, shout, and kick all at once, she couldn't wake him up.

It was a true spectacle of chaos meets calm.

She was all over the place, and he was as peaceful as a sleeping kitten.

She did her thing, and he did his – which was sleeping, undisturbed!

Tarquin’s biggest reaction was a slight frown, and then... nothing.

Not even an eyelid twitch.

Realizing waking him up and sending him on his way was a lost cause, Elysia dialed Lowell and Keaton, hoping they could come and take him away!

But alas, it was exactly those two who had 'conspired' to send him over in the first place. No chance they'd pick up her call!

Lowell and Keaton were effectively playing possum.

As the saying goes, never expect a reply from someone playing dead. So, no luck reaching Lowell or Keaton.

And since she didn’t have contact info for any of Tarquin's other friends, she was out of options there.

It was late; she couldn’t possibly call Elijah, could she?

Elijah was just a kid, how would he come to pick someone up?

After some thought, Elysia opened an app on her phone, hoping to book a delivery service to haul him away.

But, to her astonishment, she waited over an hour with no takers!

It was baffling and utterly frustrating!

Waiting around wasn’t solving anything. After some deliberation, Elysia bit the bullet and decided to take matters into her own hands.

She dashed home to change into sportswear and tied her long hair into a ponytail.

Coming back, she rolled up her sleeves, grabbed Tarquin by a leg, and tried dragging him to the elevator.

But no dice!

Abandoning the drag, she then tried hoisting him up by wrapping his arm around her neck, attempting to lift him that way.

Predictably, that didn’t work either!

Despite her best efforts, she couldn’t budge him an inch.
