After Blossom had picked out her drink, Tarquin went ahead and ordered them some snacks.
Blossom, curious, asked, "More food, huh? Planning on making this a long chat? What about Elysia?"
That's when Tarquin chimed in, "She's upstairs sleeping. Didn't catch her husband today."
"Oh? Why not? That jerk still not willing to give Elysia a break?"
Tarquin shot back, "Her husband, he's got ties to the Bradford Group?"
"The Bradford Group? What's that scumbag got to do with them?"
It was clear she had no clue.
Tarquin probed further, "Did she ever mention anything else about him?"
Thinking for a moment, Blossom recalled, "Oh, right, her husband's into guys!"
"Into guys?" Tarquin was taken aback.
"Yeah! Elysia told me. I bet that jerk's dragging his feet on the divorce just so he can keep Elysia as his beard. To cover up his thing for guys."
Tarquin frowned, all too familiar with the term "beard."
A beard is a woman married to a gay man, someone used as a cover-up, a victim sacrificed for the sake of secrecy.
Beards are helpless, pitiable.
They're either deceived their whole lives, never receiving love from their husbands, or they discover the truth and are left in despair.
If Elysia's deadbeat husband truly preferred men, that would explain his reluctance to divorce.
But that meant Elysia was the one suffering.
Annoyed, Tarquin's brow furrowed as he sent off a message to Lowell,
"Check who in the company is gay, ASAP!"
