Chloe smirked. "Mr. Shawn, you sure have energy to spare. Your date's still over there, yet you rushed over to chat with me."

Just as Chloe was about to say no, someone gently grabbed her arm from behind.

In the blink of an eye, tall Quinn yanked her behind him.

Quinn stepped between herself and Michael.
