Love Unspoken

Quinn found herself seated at the dining table, her chin resting on her hands, her eyelids heavy with the weight of sleep.

Without warning, her phone buzzed, jolting her from her drowsy stupor. With a start, she fished the device from her pocket. The screen illuminated with a message from Abigail."Quinn, is there trouble with the Kennedys?" it read. Brow furrowed in confusion, Quinn quickly responded, "What happened?""Aren't you watching the news? Your sister-in-law was taken away, I got the alert here," Abigail replied.A wave of surprise washed over Quinn. Before she could check the news online, Abigail had already sent her a link. Quinn clicked it open, and the headline blazed before her eyes, "Murderer of Valerie Captured."

"Forget it; that guy won't be that easy to catch."At the sound of that voice, Quinn jerked her head up and gazed at the driver's seat. Though she could only see the back of the driver's head, the distinctive hairdo confirmed the driver's identity.Quinn's grip on her phone tightened.

She scrambled to pull at the car door, but it was locked. She couldn't get out.Panic surged within her, and she quickly pressed the call button.
