Blind Date Turned Proposal (Josie and Dexter)

The sound of the sea gently lapping filled Josie's ears. She wanted to escape, to cover her ears, but she was powerless to do so.

She was entirely engulfed by the rushing water, on the verge of gasping for breath in the next second. Her body yearned to collapse from exhaustion, yet she was restrained by chains. "Josie." A distant voice suddenly echoed, rousing Josie from her daze.

"I've done my research. You are Robyn, no, Arnold's romantic encounter in Wavery two years ago. You're quite a spectacle of a woman. No wonder you had the audacity to bet with me just now." She crouched above the water dungeon, her head bowed as she intently observed Josie's agonized and miserable state.

Josie's attention was diverted. She let out a scoff. "Ms. Yowell, do you think you've won?"

"You're trapped here now, so how could I have not won?"

Josie continued to laugh. "Even though that bullet hit my leg, he did pull the trigger, Ms. Yowell. At that moment, he didn't consider your safety."

Josephine's smile faltered for a moment but she quickly recomposed herself. "That was because he knew you wouldn't pull the trigger."
