Love Unspoken

Quinn stood bewildered in the water, her hair tied up in a bun. Orion had done it for her, but it was poorly done, messy, with some stray hairs wet and sticking to her cheeks.

But Quinn's entire small face was still exposed, along with her loose hair, exuding a lazy beauty.

Her black and white eyes stared straight at Alexander, somewhat unfamiliar yet nervous. Alexander made no move, casually watching Quinn.

Quinn tore her gaze away, scanning the surroundings for any sign of Orion. When she couldn't spot him, her anxiety heightened. She stumbled towards the edge of the hot spring, her movements filled with worry.

Upon reaching land, the cold wind made Quinn shiver, and she hurriedly grabbed a bathrobe from a nearby chair and put it on. Quinn then made her way to the wooden house, searching every nook and cranny in the yard, but Orion was nowhere to be found..

Glancing back, Quinn saw Alexander still by the hot spring pool, watching her from a distance.

She bit her lip, mustering the courage to approach Alexander. She raised her hand, lacking the knowledge of complex sign language; she could only gesture based on instinct. "He's gone," she said.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Quinn thought to herself, 'Alexander has helped Orion and me before. He can't be all bad.'

Alexander nodded seriously, speaking to Quinn in a matter-of-fact tone, "He doesn't want you anymore."

Quinn's eyes widened in disbelief. She gazed at Alexander, seemingly unable to accept his words, yet they still caused a flush of red to rise in her eyes.

Thinking Alexander was lying to her, Quinn didn't want to deal with him and turned to leave.

But Alexander grabbed her arm, pulling her back. "Where are you going?"

Quinn, unwilling to engage any further, put all her strength into struggling against Alexander, attempting to push him away.

Alexander easily caught her other hand. Quinn was at a loss for a moment, her eyes red, glaring at him angrily.

Raising an eyebrow, Alexander seemed unfazed by her disgust. "I told you. He won't come back."

Almost instinctively, Quinn shook her head.

Alexander asked, "Don't believe me? Do you see him here?"

Looking around, Quinn saw no trace of Orion. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she began to cry, her face contorted with sadness as tears streamed down her cheeks.

Seeing her distress, Alexander released his grip. In the next moment, Quinn suddenly pushed him with all the resentment in her heart.

Caught off guard by the sudden push, Alexander fell without any warning. In the last second, he managed to grab onto Quinn's collar.

Both of them tumbled into the water together, causing a large splash. Their clothes were thoroughly soaked.

Quinn struggled in the water. Even though it was shallow, she couldn't rise because she was face down. Gasping for air, breathing became difficult for her. In her frantic efforts, a pair of large hands grasped her arms, lifting her up. Quinn sat in the pool, coughing desperately, spitting out a lot of water.

After a while, Quinn felt her breathing ease.

She heard Alexander's chuckle beside her.

Quinn turned her head in anger, only to find him sitting in the pool, completely soaked. Water dripped from his hair, his shirt was drenched, clinging tightly to his skin and revealing the faint outline of Alexander's muscles beneath his clothing. Both of them looked somewhat disheveled.

"Don't you believe me?" Alexander looked at her calmly.

Quinn wiped the water off her face and moved her lips, not that she didn't believe him; she just couldn't believe that Orion didn't want her.

If Orion didn't want her, Quinn didn't know where to go, to face this unfamiliar world alone.

It was terrifying.

Alexander said, "You can wait here and see if he comes back for you."
