The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 2055

Thalassa's lips curved into a smile as she watched Lysander head into the bathroom, deciding not to continue their conversation.

It was a beautiful, sunny day, with a warmth in the air that made everything feel just right. After breakfast, Thalassa and Lysander set out. They thought leaving early would mean a smooth drive, with no traffic at all. Thalassa was feeling lucky they could get their marriage license done early, but when they arrived at the town hall, they found out it wasn't even open yet! It was too early; the staff hadn't arrived for work!

Thalassa's anticipation turned into a bit of disappointment, feeling slightly guilty for making Lysander wait with her. Just as she was about to say something to Lysander, he took her hand in his, leading her to the front door of the town hall.

Curious, Thalassa asked, "What are we doing standing here?"

Lysander replied as if it was the most obvious thing, "Queuing. We're the first in line, so we'll be the first to get served."

"Do we really need to queue?" Thalassa wondered.

Lysander glanced at her and explained, "People looking to get their marriage license line up out the door every day. If you come late, you might not even get served. Lucky for us, we're early, so we'll be first."

Thalassa's guilt washed away with his words, and she even felt a bit of joy. Her frown smoothed out, and a smile crept onto her face. Her hand was warmly enveloped in Lysander's; his palm was both warm and dry, comforting and heartwarming. Thalassa leaned on Lysander's shoulder as they stood in front of the town hall, waiting for it to open.
