Athena laughed for a while, then seemed to realize she’d never laughed so freely in front of him before.
That night, as they lay side by side in bed, Tyler kept thinking about her smile. He tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
His phone buzzed with messages from his usual crew, asking if he wanted to go out for drinks. Tyler ignored them. All he could think about was that Athena had agreed to marry him—did that mean they could get the marriage license tomorrow?
He rolled over, facing Athena.
She was still awake, her mind caught on the idea of marriage—especially since the groom was Tyler, something she’d never imagined for herself.
“Athena,” he said quietly, “since you agreed to marry me, why don’t we go get our marriage license tomorrow?”
He couldn’t wait another day.
Athena had assumed this whole marriage thing would be at least three months down the line. She hadn’t expected him to be so eager. For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond, but after a long pause, she nodded.
Relief washed over Tyler. He’d been worried she might change her mind, decide she didn’t want to get married after all, or lose interest in finding out what really happened to Kerwin. If that happened, what excuse would he have left to keep her by his side?
Tyler didn’t sleep a wink all night. As soon as dawn broke, he was up, pulling on a new suit. He finally found time to text Bert.
“Getting married today.”
The shock value was obvious—Bert called him immediately.
“Dude, you’re not joking, right? You’re actually doing it? Athena said yes?”
“She did.”
Bert was speechless, as if watching Tyler march headlong into disaster—worse, he was going willingly.
Tyler dropped the news in his group chat with Ian and the others. Silence at first, then a flurry of question marks.
Beck, of course, was the most dramatic. He sent five reaction gifs in a row, all expressing total disbelief.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
