Love Unspoken

Alexander didn't come into the bedroom all night. By the time Quinn woke up, he was already gone.

She stayed in bed for a couple of hours, staring at the ceiling before finally getting up. Even though she wasn't hungry, she made some porridge and forced herself to eat two servings before taking her meds. Around five in the afternoon, the doorbell rang.

Upon opening the door, Quinn was greeted by Alexander's assistant, Kyle Astor.

"Good day, Quinn," Kyle offered a respectful bow. "Alexander sent me to get you."

Quinn's brows knitted together in confusion. Since Kyle didn't understand sign language, she refrained from gesturing.

"Today's your birthday," Kyle clarified. "Alexander wants you to wear the new outfit he got you yesterday."

Quinn hesitated, a flicker of surprise flashing in her eyes. She had assumed Alexander's promise to celebrate her birthday was merely a ploy to placate her. She hadn't anticipated that he would genuinely honor his word. Her lips tightened, but she remained still.

"Is something wrong, Quinn?" Kyle asked. "Don't you want to go?"

She remained silent. Just a day ago, Alexander had callously incinerated her belongings. Now, she was expected to casually dine with him. He had purchased her clothing, and even offered to celebrate her birthday as if nothing had transpired. It was as if her feelings were inconsequential to him.
