GoodReadThroughout the day, Galen had sought Alexander on several occasions, yet their paths never crossed.
As the day drew to a close, Quinn diligently tidied her workspace. Her fingers brushed against the cold, hard
cash in her pocket, a meager sum of thirteen dollars. It was the samount Orion had generously lent her the
previous day, his own pockets equally light.
Rather than indulging in the luxury of a taxi, Quinn opted for a more frugal route. She navigated a shortcut to the
bus station, each step echoing her resolve to save money.
Upon reaching her destination, she boarded a bus bound for the hospital, her IV treatment beckoning. The
treatment concluded around nine, and she was fortunate enough to catch the last bus home.
Her journey led her back to Thunderbird Canyon. From the bus stop, her hnestled in the residential area of
the canyon was a twenty-minute walk away.
Halfway through her trek, the sky began to weep a gentle rain. She unfurled her umbrella, shielding herself from
the droplets as she continued her walk back to the villa. The lights of the familiar house twinkled in the distance,
a beacon in the night.
However, the main gate was locked, barring her entry.
Quinn found herself rooted at the entrance, her gaze locked onto the house. Courage seemed to elude her,
leaving her questioning the nature of her relationship with Alexander.
Were they still a couple on the brink of divorce? Or were they more like siblings? The latter thought was

instead. Thus, she found herself standing before the villa, feeling like a stranger in a familiar land.
Lost in her deliberations, Quinn was jolted from her thoughts as the door to the villa creaked open. Startled, she
quickly folded her umbrella and sought refuge behind a stone pillar near the entrance. The light rain had turned
into a chilling drizzle, soaking her clothes and seeping into her bones.
Huddled against the pillar, she cautiously peered around it. Two figures emerged from the house: Alexander and
Getty.
Alexander unfurled an umbrella, offering it to Getty who accepted it and lingered in the yard. He then retreated
to the garage, soon reappearing in a sleek Mercedes. Getty folded the umbrella and slid into the car, and with
that, Alexander drove off.

The scene unfolded before Quinn's eyes, leaving her in a daze. She stood alone in the rain, the car's passing
leaving her drenched and splattered with mud. Her new clothes bore the brunt of the assault, now stained and
sullied. Mud smeared her face, only to be washed away by the relentless rain.
In mere minutes, she was transformed into a sodden figure, her hair plastered to her face and dripping water.
She lingered awkwardly at the entrance, her destination suddenly uncertain.
Inside the car, Getty's eyes flicked to the rearview mirror, catching a glimpse of Quinn's silhouette. "Did you see
that?" she asked.
She had noticed it, and it was possible that Alexander might have seen Quinn's figure in the rearview mirror as
well.

Alexander remained silent, his focus solely on the road ahead.
Undeterred, Getty pressed on, "What's wrong? You guys aren't getting a divorce, are you?"
