Love Unspoken

Quinn rolled back into Regal Riverside, feeling as if she were stuck in a loop.

She plopped down on the bed with Alexander right there, who was not interested in anything else but being her shadow.

He checked out her wound, which was healing up well. But after getting hurt again, it looked even nastier than before.

If it was a cut last time, now it was a full-on canyon. During the last healing, she ripped off the new skin, and blood gushed out like a horror movie.

Alexander's fingers hovered over her wound but pulled back just before touching it. He looked up at Quinn, all worried, "Does it hurt?"

Quinn shook her head a bit, "Nah, it doesn't."

She really couldn't feel any pain; her mind was all foggy, as if she were tipsy. How could she feel pain?

When Alexander talked to her, she could barely make out what he was saying.

Alexander tucked her hand back under the covers, his long fingers gently playing with her shoulder-length hair. He said thoughtfully, "Looks like it's grown a bit."

Quinn glanced up at him.

He was staring at her hair, eyes down. The breeze blew through his hair, making him look softer.

In a daze, Quinn felt as if she were back in her younger days.

"Time flies," she sighed.

Twenty years sounded long, but some things felt like they happened just yesterday.

"It does fly," Alexander agreed, casually tucking her hair behind her ear, revealing her face.

He looked at her face, a bit lost in thought. He muttered, "In a blink, you've grown so much."

Quinn pressed her lips together, staying quiet.

He kept stroking her cheek, saying, "Watching you every day, I never noticed your changes. It's like you've always looked the same since you were little."

Quinn's eyes felt a bit warm. She had clearly seen his changes.

She watched him grow taller, saw the smiles on his face become fewer and faker, and his eyes grow colder.

Yeah, only in pain did time drag; happy times always zipped by.

Alexander recalled, "Back then, you were always behind me, no matter where. I always thought you'd hide behind me forever."

Alexander's eyes flickered as he continued, "But one day, you said you were bored and wanted to work. I agreed and let you work at Abigail's coffee shop. From then, everything started to change." Quinn closed her eyes and turned her head away, not wanting to dig up those old memories.

Alexander kept going, "Not long after you started, you came back wanting a divorce. Quinn, do you know? The moment you handed me the divorce papers, I felt like all these years were a joke. How could you be led astray by someone you knew for just a few months?"

Alexander stared at her, saying nothing.

Quinn scolded, "Alexander, even now, you still blame others for this. Have you really looked at yourself?"

Alexander looked away, suddenly standing up.

He said stubbornly, "I still believe that if I hadn't let you go to work, none of this would have happened."

Quinn didn't want to talk to him anymore. She suddenly felt short of breath and raised her hand to clutch her chest, gasping for air.

Alexander's expression changed. He quickly bent down to support her, asking nervously, "Quinn, what's wrong?"

Quinn struggled to push him away. "Don't touch me."
