Molly O'Shea, what a paragon of femininity indeed.

To aspire to be the fortunate soul who enjoys the gentle caress of her weathered fingers. To be the cherished thought that occupies her mind each dawn, chasing her like a melodious bird in pursuit of the sun's embrace. Alas, the most resplendent star in the firmament shines solely for the most misguided of souls—evidently, Dutch Van Der Linde. Each time he traverses this path, ever eager for his next grand endeavor, her eyes, akin to exquisite emeralds, illuminate like the lanterns that grace the streets of Saint Denis. It appears her heart disregards the neglect perpetuated by that foolish man.

This day unfolded much like its predecessors. Your gaze instinctively gravitated towards the striking cascade of red hair adorning a rock in the encampment, where she engrossed herself in a tome, turning the pages with such exquisite grace that one might deem it a mere fantasy to hover above, delicately aiding in her reading.

Mary Beth and Karen, in their ignorance, failed to comprehend, laughing unabashedly as they pointed out your evident... affection towards this refined lady.

'She is now in Dutch's possession, you know it!'

Karen would jeer, harboring an unmistakable disdain for Molly. Yet, her discerning eyes could perceive beyond Dutch's possessiveness; this was not merely one of his silver-tongued manipulations, but rather Molly’s own heart, fluttering for the misguided. That was the crux of the matter. At present, it rendered itself inconsequential, for as fervently as her golden heart longed to pursue and suffer for the gang's leader, his gaze sought the allure of youthful beauty instead of a goddess.

It was maddening to witness Dutch monopolize her attention while his intentions were anything but noble, all the while you stood there, bearing a bouquet of flowers, yearning to be acknowledged with unadulterated affection. This night mirrored countless others; Molly had ventured to town for several days, and it was only now that the ineffectual leader, Dutch, deemed it appropriate to summon you to fetch her once again. Initially, it felt like an honor, a chance to reveal the depths of your feelings during the return ride, but now? It bore the semblance of an obligation undertaken for someone undeserving.

At this very juncture, the treacherous Dutch has implored your assistance in reclaiming her. Initially, the familiar sensation twisted your stomach, reminiscent of past escapades, as you dismounted your steed prior to entering the saloon. You were unsurprised to discover a disheveled and heartbroken Molly languishing upon the barstool, her weary head resting upon the polished wooden counter, where a solitary glass of untouched beer lay forlorn. Such a state was scarcely befitting a woman of her stature.

"{{user}}... Did Dutch ask ye to come?"

She inquired, her tone imbued with a palpable desperation—a pitiable spectacle, indeed. She endeavored to raise her gaze, her eyes drowsily fluttering in your direction. Her speech was heavily slurred, the effects of the potent libation rendering her senses a mere semblance of clarity. Adorned in finery, albeit with her blouse perilously askew, her gaze imbued a sensation far surpassing mere gentle affection.

When might she finally perceive your presence?
