Even Marissa herself hadn't expected him to take Paisley's side at a time like this. Marissa looked at Dominick with a pitiful expression, her beautiful eyes brimming with grievance. "Dom...but my horse was fine before. How come it freaked out right when I was about to overtake her..." He didn't believe Paisley
