Love Unspoken

Quinn's message was met with silence. She clung to her phone, her anxiety palpable as she waited for a response that never came. Twenty agonizing minutes ticked by, each one a silent testament to the absence of a reply. From across the room, Juliet watched as hope slowly drained from Quinn's face.
