GoodReadQuinn's lips pursed in a tight line as she gestured with her hands, her voice barely above a whisper, "Was it
you?"Alexander watched her with a calmness that belied the tension in the air. He remained silent, his quietness
speaking volumes to Quinn. She understood his silence as an admission. He knew exactly what she was asking.
She stared at him, disbelief etching lines into her face, her fingers stiff and unyielding. With a Herculean effort,
she managed to sign the word, "Why?"Her voice was filled with an undercurrent of anger as she fumed, "Didn't
you promise me?" Alexander reached out, his hand closing around her gesturing one, halting her signing mid-
motion. His voice was soft, almost inviting, "Let's go inside."
Quinn jerked her hand away, her stubbornness shining through as she gestured again, "Why? Why are you doing
this to me?"
His gaze turned stormy, his tone frosty as he repeated, "We'll talk inside!"His indifferent look sliced through her,
causing her to instinctively step back.
Choking back a sob, Quinn managed to get out, "Why... What did | do wrong? Tell me, what did | do wrong?"

would consher. 'He hurt me, and yet, he's mad at me, as if I'm the one who committed a heinous crime,’
she thought. With great difficulty, Quinn signed, "You were the one who hurt them first! I've cut ties with Abigail
already. Why can't you just let Juliet be?"
"Why do you go back on your word?"Quinn pressed him, baffled by Alexander's actions. His silence was her only
answer as they stood locked in a wordless standoff.
After a tense moment, Alexander finally spoke, "She's just gone where she needs to be, Quinn. I'm your family.
I'm all you need. No one else. Do you understand?" Quinn froze, staring in disbelief at the man before her. He'd
never seemed so alien. Previously, she had thought his words were spoken in anger, believing he was merely
worried she'd be led astray.
'But now, | see. What influence could Juliet possibly have on me? He wouldn't even spare an elderly lady. His
control overborders on the pathological. What in the world does he want? Why won't he letgo, even
