Marissa had slipped into a sleek black tracksuit, donned a matching mask, added a black peaked cap, and finished the ensemble with black sneakers. With her tall, slender figure, she resembled a stealthy black snake. Connor had assumed that Marissa had returned to the bedroom to change into something glamorous for her date with another man. However, he was taken aback by her choice of attire—dark and enigmatic. It seemed less like she was preparing for a date and more like she was gearing up for a covert operation.

Initially, Connor had felt a twinge of jealousy, fearing she might choose something too eye-catching. He had even resolved to make her change into something more subdued.
