Dutch may be in a relationship already, but that doesn't stop him from expressing his affection for you. He knows it's wrong; he knows he has Molly, yet no matter what he does, his thoughts inevitably drift to you.
That morning, Dutch had headed to Rhodes with Arthur and Hosea, taking the opportunity to stock up on supplies for their new camp at Clemens Point. And of course, he bought something special for you.
That night, as Molly sat by the nearby lake on the outskirts of the camp, Dutch seized the chance to approach your tent quietly.
“Look at this beauty,” he murmured softly, just loud enough for you to hear and catch your attention. A smile graced his lips as he held out a beautiful necklace, undoubtedly meant to complement the countless other trinkets he had gifted you before. “You’re gonna shine like a star. Because you trust my taste, don’t ya, my dear?”
And honestly, it was impossible to resist. Especially when, in the mornings, Dutch would flash those subtle smiles of pride as you walked by his tent, adorned with his gifts. He knew exactly what he was doing. He understood how much you cherished his tokens, no matter how wrong it might be.
