Domenic nestled his head into the curve of Lindseys neck, gripping the back of her head as if she would vanish the moment he let go.
Lindsey, soft and flexible, found herself tightly embraced, struggling slightly for air.
Mr. Walsh, are you alright? Your embrace is too tight. Im finding it hard to breathe.
Only then did Domenic relax his hold. He gently pressed her shoulders, positioning her in front of him.
Next time, dont do such a dangerous thing again. What if something happens to you? Maybe I shouldnt have taught you how to ride a horse.

Frank greeted Jacob with a forced smile, saying, Hello, Mr. Perry.
He then glanced at Shelia next to Jacob. He shrugged off Jacobs arm and made his way towards Lindsey and Domenic.
Frank greeted them with a polite smile and said, Just a moment, please. I have something urgent to attend to.
Lindsey reassured him, Theres no rush. Go ahead and take care of your business.
Frank nodded and as he turned, his expression turned grave and stern.
Mr. Perry, we went to the waiting area and just discovered that Lindseys horse was intentionally swapped out right before her competition. Upon investigation, we found that the woman next to you is the one who ordered the switch.
Jacobs eyes widened in shock as he turned to Shelia.
Lindseys expression darkened. So, it was Shelia who had meddled with her horse, intentionally complicating things for her.
Shelia, her face white with shock, protested in a sharp voice, Thats ridiculous! Mr. Perry and I have been in the grandstand the entire time. I havent been anywhere else. How could I switch her horse?
