Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1508

Stretching out before them was a deep canyon, and across from it stood sheer, dangerous cliffs. Countless eagles soared through the air, their calls echoing through the chasm. The scene was breathtaking, like something out of a movie.

"This is one of the eagles' main habitats," Dane explained. "Look over there, a mother eagle is teaching her fledgling to fly. And over there, a young one is learning to hunt."

Lowell turned to look at Dane, finally understanding why he had brought him here. Evan loved eagles. Dane had gone to all this trouble just for the video call. It was thoughtful.

"Evan will love this. I'll call him right now."

Lowell dialed the number on Evan's watch phone. It rang for a moment before Evan answered, breathless and covered in sweat. "Mr. Lowell!"

Lowell smiled warmly. "Still training?"

"Yeah. Did you see the pretty lady and Jove?"

Lowell's mouth twitched. "I'm with the *Dane* right now. Look."

Lowell switched the camera and slowly panned the phone around to show Evan the view.

"Whoa— Whoa—"

A smile touched Dane's lips at Evan's exclamations of wonder. Suddenly, the camera focused on him. Dane froze as he heard Evan shout, "Pretty lady!"

Dane's smile froze on his face, and for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

Lowell stepped in. "Evan, don't be rude. This is a man, an older guy."

Evan pursed his lips and corrected himself. "Hello, Dane. Are all these your eagles?"

Dane recovered. "No, only Jove is mine. The others are wild eagles from the mountains."

"It's spectacular! Where's Jove?"

Dane looked up at the sky and called out, "Jove!"

An eagle, soaring high above, heard the call and immediately screeched as it dove down. It slowed as it neared Dane, landing steadily on his shoulder.

Dane: "?!"

Evan laughed. "Don't be scared! You're my friend, so you're White's friend. Even if you met in person, White wouldn't hurt you."

Jove took a defensive stance, screeching from a distance.

"White and I can't fly," Evan said. "Jove, you can fly really, really high, can't you?"

At that, Jove gathered its strength and shot up into the clouds. Lowell quickly raised his phone to follow its flight. After soaring into the sky, Jove plunged headfirst into the canyon, then reversed direction just before hitting the ground and shot back up again.

Evan watched, ecstatic, clapping his hands. "Go, Jove!"

After showing off for a while, Jove suddenly spotted something. It dove down and snatched a large bird, returning to Dane's side. It placed the bird on the ground, pinning its head with its sharp talons, looking majestic.

Evan applauded enthusiastically. "Jove, you're amazing! So amazing!"
