Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 711

Keith was decked out in his workout gear, a fitness tracker wrapped around his wrist, dripping with sweat as if he'd just finished a marathon.

This was the first time they had seen each other since that brawl.

Keith had healed up and was currently riding the unemployment wave, without the urgency to dive into a new job.

His days were filled with painting and his nights with excursions to the local gym for some fitness routines, swimming, or hitting the basketball court. Life was surprisingly stress-free, devoid of the typical job-hunting anxiety, and he hadn't sought out Elysia either.

“Did you orchestrate the recent drama?”

Keith, wincing from the impact, glared back at Tarquin, his expression transitioning from anger to disdain in a matter of seconds,
