Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Lizetta finally let out a relieved sigh, only for her moment of calm to be shattered by a sudden knock on the car window.

Startled, she turned to see a police officer in uniform peering seriously inside the

car.

Her face turned pale as she instinctively grabbed onto Remington's suit jacket, trying to hide within it.

Remington felt her tug, his body tensing once again. He glanced down at Lizetta who was burrowing into his arms and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Liz, if you keep doing that, the officer might really get the wrong idea about us."

Realizing her actions, Lizetta's cheeks flushed bright red. She playfully punched Remington's chest.

"This is all your fault! Now get out there and explain!"

With that, she pushed him away, clutching a teddy bear as she tried to disappear behind it, mumbling to herself.

"You don't see me, you don't see me."

Remington chuckled at her antics, like a frightened little bunny.

He cleared his throat to suppress his laughter, but the officer knocked again, prompting a more serious demeanor.
