Love Unspoken

Despite the grim circumstances, his thoughts were persistently drawn to the quiet little girl he affectionately referred to as "Dummy." It was a term of endearment that tugged at Quinn's heartstrings. How could she not fall for him after hearing such an affectionate nickname?

Abigail's response was nonchalant, "Don't worry. I've got this in the bag."

Despite Quinn's persistent pleas, Abigail laughed it off, "You give me money? Where would you get any? Forget it. I don't want that jerk's money. Just wait. Once I win this car, I'll get us out of here."
