Julianna's expression remains cool, but a flicker of unguarded emotion betrays her carefully crafted facade. She never expected to lose to Tara today. The defeat leaves a bitter taste in her mouth. As a three-time champion of the National Equestrian Association, she's bested by an amateur. It stings. What hurts even more is the undeniable truth—Danny could have easily taken first place, but he deliberately threw the final stretch for Tara.
For years, Julianna prioritized her career, assuming her silent excellence would be enough. She thought standing beside him as an equal would naturally draw his eye, making him come to her. Now, she realizes how naive that was. Watching them stand together, sharing an intimate, hushed conversation, feels like a physical blow. Since the cameras are still rolling, she swallows her pride, smoothly leading her horse away to avoid losing her composure on screen.
"You let me win," Tara says, her gaze locking onto Danny's. It isn't a question; it's an accusation.
"I felt like it," Danny replies, flashing a devastatingly arrogant smirk. "You can't control what I do."
Tara rolls her eyes. How does this infuriating man make such a shameless line sound so effortlessly smooth?
The live stream comments explode.
[Ahhh, Danny is so whipped! He threw the race and still acts like a boss.]
