Love Unspoken

With an unexpected stumble, Quinn found herself awkwardly seated on his lap, her gaze lifting to meet his impassive eyes. His finger traced the corner of her eye, his whisper a cool breeze against her skin, "Everyone has their own fate, Quinn. This has nothing to do with me."

Tears welled in Quinn's eyes as she studied his face, desperately seeking the truth in his expression. But his countenance was unreadable, a mystery she couldn't solve.
