Context: descrierea unei relaţii de cuplu într-un interogatoriu pentru suspiciune de crimă.
"She doted on him. And he doted on her, and there wasn't a thing he wouldn't do for her. He never indicated any arguments or any reason why she would run away from him."
Sunt total în ceaţă. "Dot" poate însemna şi zestre, dar nu cred că e cazul. Mă gândesc la faptul că s-au iubit mult, dar mi se pare o expresie cam ciudată. Orice sugestie va fi deplin apreciată. Mulţumesc.

a iubi la nebunie
verbul este "to dote", nu "dot"
se iubeau la nebunie, erau nebuni unul după altul
nu e ciudată expresia, e o expresie perfect normală :)
