Quinn stared into the man's dark eyes, managing a strained smile as a wave of overwhelming exhaustion washed over her. Her hands fell limply to her sides, and she closed her eyes, surrendering to the inevitable. The sight of her resignation ignited a cocktail of rage and helplessness within Alexander.

He always knew how to hit her where it hurt, pulling her back from the brink of death each time and offering a glimmer of hope. Alexander's gaze was intense, and he asked again, "Okay?"
