Suddenly, Lindsey snapped back to reality. She gently pushed on Domenics shoulders, breaking the embrace.
Whats the matter? Domenics reluctance to let go was evident.
Mr. Walsh, I Im not feeling well. I need to change my clothes.
Ill meet you at the door in a bit. With that, Lindsey quickly freed herself from his grasp and hurried away.

She kept pushing him away. What was she really trying to escape from?
Recently, under Domenics guidance, Lindsey was becoming a skilled horse rider.

Tomorrows your dads birthday, Kendra said. Hes put in a lot of hard work over the years. Im throwing a party for him by the sea to celebrate. I know you just fell out with him, but hes still your dad. You might skip the usual stuff, but you cant miss this party.

sure, Ill be there tomorrow night, Lindsey replied with a poised smile. Now that Kendra had reached out to her, she wasnt about to say no.
The party was set up on the beach, the bright lights giving it a romantic, upscale vibe.
Kendra was dressed to impress in a tailor-made purple fishtail gown, her hair elegantly tied up. She was the picture of grace and fashion.
The local elite flocked around her, showering her with praise and Kendra basked in it.
But the party, while meant to honor Benny, was really for Lindsey.
Just then, Kendra spotted someone approaching from a distance.
Her smile appeared instantly as she approached Lindsey and linked arms with her.
So you made it, Lindsey. Your dad and I were starting to worry.
Thought maybe you were still upset and wouldnt show.
The surrounding onlookers nodded in agreement with Kendras words.
