GoodReadQuinn's lips formed two silent words: Don't go.
Alexander cast his gaze down at her, watching as she continued to grapple with the challenge of lip-reading, her
efforts awkward yet unerringly accurate. "Please," she begged.
His voice, when he finally spoke, was a low murmur, devoid of the fury that had previously laced his words.
"Beggingnow, don't you think it's too late?"
Regardless, Quinn shook her head, her arms tightening around him in a desperate embrace. She knew well
enough that he didn't harbor any love for her, but this gesture had always served to quell his anger. It might not
sway his decision, but it could at least soothe his wrath.
She nuzzled her cheek against his chest, much like a kitten seeking the comfort of its owner. It was a touch so
tender that no one could remain unaffected.
He seemed more composed than before, yet he made no move to return her embrace. Quinn tilted her head
upwards once more, standing on her tiptoes in an attempt to kiss him. Her clumsy eagerness slowly ignited a
spark in his eyes. Suddenly, his hand rose, cradling the back of her head, deepening the kiss. He lifted her into
his arms, moving purposefully towards the bed.

kiss. His anger often manifested in rough, almost violent kisses that sometimes left her skin bruised.
It was in these rare, intense moments that she felt truly cherished by him. Fleeting as a blossom that withers at
dawn, it was this single thread of hope that had kept her tethered to him all these years. But now, the fervor of
her feelings seemed to be ebbing. He had asked her not to love him, and perhaps... just perhaps, she was
nearing the point of granting his wish.

Quinn's eyelids fluttered, and slowly, she allowed them to close as a single tear traced a path down her cheek.
Exhausted, she surrendered to the enveloping darkness.
When she stirred awake, her hand instinctively reached out to the space beside her, expecting to encounter
nothing more than the cold, empty expanse of the sheets. But this time, her hand brushed against a firm, warm
chest. Quinn's eyes snapped open in surprise.
Their gazes locked - his, deep and inscrutable. Her breath hitched, and she reached out tentatively to touch his
face, half-convinced that she was hallucinating. His skin was warm to the touch, the sensation undeniably real.
And his hand was holding hers. They remained thus, their eyes locked in a silent communion where words were
unnecessary.
Alexander's hand traced a path along her brow and eyes, his morning voice husky and raw. "There's something
missing in your eyes," he murmured, seemingly to himself.
Quinn merely gazed at him, her silence eloquent.
He didn't wait for a response, continuing on his own, "I don't like the way you look at me."
With a sigh, he turned to lie on his back beside her, his gaze fixed on the ceiling as he lost himself in thought.
