Elysia was at a loss for words, wondering what was going on.
Before she could even ask, Tarquin blurted out, "Elijah's mom is coming back."
After saying that, he pulled her into a tight hug, resting his chin on top of her head as if he was afraid that mentioning another woman would upset her and drive her away.
Elysia was dumbfounded. She’s coming back? She’s been back for ages!
Who was spreading these rumors?
Who was feeding him this false information?
Trying to get a better look at him, Elysia struggled in his arms, but he held her so tightly she couldn’t move.
Pressed against his chest, she could hear the steady beat of his heart as she asked, "Who told you she was coming back?"
"That's not the point," Tarquin’s voice was filled with a sense of defeat, "I wronged her years ago, I promised her I’d take responsibility, I..."
He trailed off, unsure of how to continue, but Elysia got the picture.
He didn't realize she was Elijah's mother. He thought of her and Elijah's mom as two separate people!
That’s why he was so torn...
Although he wasn't particularly fond of Elijah's mother, a sense of duty compelled him to take responsibility.
If Elijah's mom came back and wanted to be with him, he’d oblige!
That meant he and Elysia couldn't be together.
But if he chose Elysia, then there’d be no place for Elijah's mom by his side, and he’d feel he was betraying her.
Caught between duty and love, he was at a crossroads, unsure of which path to choose.
Elysia let out a sigh. If she wasn't Elijah's mother, she might have been angry or jealous!
In her view, love was between two people, with no room for a third.
