Love Unspoken

Abigail found herself staring blankly at Quinn's extended hand, the weight of the situation hanging heavily in the air around her. She was unable to fully comprehend what was happening.

"What... did you just suggest?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper. As she lifted her gaze to meet Quinn's eyes, she was almost convinced she had misunderstood.

With a firm nod, Quinn repeated her gesture, "We're leaving this place for good."

"Are you serious?" Abigail's anxiety surged like a tidal wave. Quinn had always been reluctant to leave with her in the past; over time, Abigail had resigned herself to the idea that they would always be stuck in this place. But now, with Quinn suggesting they leave, Abigail felt her nerves tighten like a coiled spring. Quinn nodded gravely, her mind made up. 'There's no going back. If we do, I don't know how I'll face Alexander or convince him to spare Abigail.' The last time they had tried to leave, Alexander had done something unspeakable to Abigail. Now, after disappearing for days, Quinn couldn't bear to imagine the consequences.

After a moment of silence that seemed to stretch on forever, Abigail clenched Quinn's hand with a determined gaze, as if making a final decision.

"Okay, let's go," she finally said.

She ruffled her short hair, brushed away the clutter on her clothes, and stepped out of the car, heading straight for the driver's seat. Noticing the keys were still in the ignition, she paused, struck by a thought-was the car meant for her all along?

Quinn, now seated in the passenger seat, looked equally puzzled as she saw Abigail staring at the car keys. Abigail looked up at Quinn. "Doesn't this feel a bit off to you?"

Quinn returned her gaze, quietly awaiting Abigail's reasoning.
