Edward believed her words. He sighed heavily and said, “Well then, if you ever wish to return. I will always welcome you. An for your classes, I will let the Wilson family know

“Alright.” Quinlyn nodded, knowing deep down that she could never go back to the Anderson Manor

Her departure was meant to free her from Maurice’s grasp. If she was found coming and going from there, everything had done would be for nothing-

Edward’s eyes filled with tears as he pulled her into a hug, key and all, his voice thick with emotion, I will come, I promise. Not just when you miss me, but also when I miss you. You must come and visit me too.

Quinlyn’s heart warmed at his words, and she replied earnestly, “Sure.”
