GoodReadevening. Alexander's tense muscles eased. He advanced, extending his arm to retrieve her phone.
"Did you miss me?" he queried, a playful tone to his voice as he returned the device to her.
Quinn's grip on her phone tightened, a silent battle waged within her to suppress the guilt that threatened to
surface. She offered him a small, almost imperceptible nod in response. Only moments ago, she had sensed his

Wait until you've recovered." Relief washed over Quinn, and she nodded in agreement.
Alexander reached out to ruffle her hair gently, his eyes reflecting a complex emotion. It wasn't the first time

As they waited for their dinner to be delivered, Alexander's phone rang once more. As expected, the caller was
Getty. He was about to dismiss the call when the line went dead, as if the caller had sensed his intention. A
second later, the call cthrough again.
With a resigned sigh, Alexander rose to his feet to answer the call. "What's up?"
"Alexander, can you pickup? I'm shooting until midnight today, and | hate it! They've put on so much
