As they dismounted from the horse, he carefully lifted her down, his hands gently gripping her waist. With a lingering affection, he kissed her lips once more.

He nodded eagerly, "Mmm." "Too much love can get old, you know." He bent down, nuzzling into her neck. "I just want to cozy up with you." Eliza thought to herself, This is so cheesy.
As they walked over, Dillon handed Eliza a glass of freshly squeezed juice. "Ma'am, this juice is fresh." "Dillon, you're so thoughtful."

Caroline approached, sweat dotting her forehead. Dillon offered her a glass of seltzer water and a towel. "Here." Caroline took the towel without looking up, wiping away the sweat. Just as she was about to open the seltzer, she realized Dillon had already done it for her. She took a big gulp, tilting her head back.

She clenched her teeth in rage, reaching for a second bottle of the sliquid.
But this time, she was too slow. Before she could unscrew the cap, Caroline had swiftly thrown a odat over her head/blinding her. Panicked and disoriented, she tried to escape but fost her sense of direction. Quick as a flash, Dillon grabbed a rope, tying her up securely.
Once the attacker was subdued, Dillon turned his attention back to Casper, taking in the damage on his back. It wasn't hard to guess what ard to the corrosive liquid was. Casper's back was in bad shape, a chitting sight that needed urgent medical care. Eliza, still shaken from the terrifying ordeal, followed the ambulance to the hospital, her heart racing.
Dillon, looking at the woman with the coat over her head, lifted it. He pulled down her mask, his eyes widening in disbelief. "How could it be you?" Seeing the woman's face, Caroline was just as shocked. Had she lost her mind?
