Part 2/4:
After returning home to Florida to care for their rescue dog, Nala, Cassidy recounted a bittersweet conversation with Payne. Just before he fell from the balcony of his hotel room, she had sent him an excited text message expressing her anticipation for his return. In her words, she wrote, "I can’t wait for you to get home and see the house," where she had decorated for Halloween, hoping to share the festive spirit with him.
Cherished Memories
In addition to her final text, Cassidy also shared the last photograph she took of Liam. The snapshot captures him riding horseback during a trail ride they enjoyed toward the end of their vacation. In her reflection on the image, she noted, "He looks so happy," revealing how bright their future seemed just days before tragedy struck.
