Love Unspoken

A call from the caretaker found its way to Quinn as well. The woman on the other end of the line confessed her inability to continue in her role. Quinn, taken aback, struggled to form a response. She yearned to inquire about the specifics, but her words were trapped, leaving her to stew in silent worry on the other end of the line.

Everything had appeared normal when she had departed the previous evening!

The caretaker's voice filled the silence, her words tumbling out in a rush. "How should I refund the money to you? Maybe you should come by tomorrow, no wait, it's better if you come now... I feel like the old lady is..."

Quinn's grip on the phone tightened, her heart pounding with a mix of panic and helplessness. She cursed her inability to articulate her thoughts.

Once the call ended, she quickly composed a text to the caretaker, explaining her inability to speak and requesting details about the elderly woman's condition. After sending the message, she cast a glance upstairs, considered for a moment, and then decided against seeking his assistance.

Quinn sank into the couch, her phone clutched tightly in her hand as she waited for a response.

Perhaps the caretaker was too preoccupied; she didn't notice the text, and Quinn's wait for a reply proved fruitless.

As she glanced at the wall clock, it read ten at night.

Her anxiety, perhaps, had triggered the return of her headache. It was a sharp, stabbing pain that made her world spin.

Holding her head, she curled up on the couch, her fingers tightly wound in her hair, teeth gritted against the pain.
