GoodReadQuinn's heart stuttered in her chest, her gaze nervously flickering towards Alexander. She forced a smile, tight
and strained, onto her face. With a subtle gesture, she indicated that she would accept his offer when they
returned. "Don't bother," Alexander responded, his gaze flitting away from her momentarily before returning. His
words hung in the air, a silence falling over them like a heavy blanket.
Alexander reached out, his fingers gently tucking a stray lock of hair behind Quinn's ear. His voice was a soft
murmur, laced with ambiguity as he asked, "You like girls, don't you?"
Quinn froze in her seat, words eluding her.
Indeed, she had forgotten.
She had forgotten about his talk of having a child together, forgotten about the child they had already brought
into this world and lost just two months prior. His reminder was a bitter pill, a rush of sorrow lodged in her throat,
her eyes brimming with unshed tears.
Her memory was becoming increasingly unreliable.
Alexander's brow furrowed subtly, a small crease forming between his eyes. He withdrew his hand, fastened his
seatbelt, and drove off, leaving Quinn to stare out the window, silent tears trailing down her cheeks.

Getty's presence. He seemed oblivious to how Quinn might feel seeing Getty.
The window rolled down and Getty leaned in, her smile fading as her eyes fell on Quinn. "How cyou two are
together?" she asked.
Ignoring her question, Alexander turned his head to inquire, "What do you want?"
"I couldn't reach you on your phone, got worried you'd run off to do something drastic. | went to your villa, didn't
find you, so | thought I'd try my luck here and see if anyone knew where you were." Getty explained. Alexander
paused for a moment before he suddenly turned to Quinn and said, "You go ahead."
Quinn fidgeted with her fingers, glanced at Getty and then back at Alexander, and finally relaxed her grip. She
opened the car door, stepped out without a word, and made her way toward the entrance gate of the Villa. Getty
watched her depart with a pang of envy she couldn't quite place it seemed clear enough that Alexander had a
soft spot for Quinn.
A twinge of jealousy pricked at her heart, the thought that Quinn could be openly with Alexander while she
couldn't.
After walking a short distance, Quinn inexplicably glanced back, only to see Getty leaning into the car window,
wrapped in an embrace with Alexander.
Feeling a sting in her chest, Quinn quickly averted her gaze and hastened her steps into the Villa.
Happiness eludes us for we covet too much, she reflected. This was true for her as much as for Getty. Both
craving what the other had.
Getty, attempting to steal a kiss from Alexander, was stopped as he gently pushed her face away with one hand.
