Yet, she pondered, what exactly was their rtionship?


    Suddenly, Lindsey snapped back to reality.


    She gently pushed on Domenic’s shoulders, breaking the embrace.


    “What’s the matter?” Domenic’s reluctance to let go was evident.


    “Mr.


    Walsh, I… I’m not feeling well.


    I need to change my clothes.


    I’ll meet you at the door in a bit.


    ” With that, Lindsey quickly freed herself from his grasp and hurried away.


    Domenic, left leaning against the wall, watched her retreating figure with a thoughtful look and a deep frown.

    Kendra was on a mission to convince Lindsey over the phone, and she had a point.


    Lindsey narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.


    Kendra’s sudden party invitation and her insistence on her attendance seemed fishy.


    “sure, I’ll be there tomorrow night,” Lindsey replied with a poised smile.


    Now that Kendra had reached out to her, she wasn’t 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.
