Before Joshua got home, Lillian had been daydreaming about how magical it would be to have a candlelight dinner together. They would be dancing, enjoying a gentle buzz from the wine, the air filled with the scent of roses. It was all set up to be perfectly romantic! But now, her plans were ruined, leaving her with a bitter sense of disappointment.

Joshua had already headed to the living room, leaving the dining area behind. Taking advantage of the moment, Lillian slipped out the pills she had prepared and dropped them into the wine.
