Love Unspoken

A wave of defiance welled up within Quinn. Despite having been raised in Wayne's world, her interactions with him were minimal at best. To him, she was likely as inconsequential as the air he breathed. Wayne, on the other hand, was a figure of stern authority and demanding expectations in her eyes. The fear of failing in her new role and facing potential dismissal by him was a constant shadow. "Quinn?" Ruby's voice pierced through her internal monologue, pulling her back to reality. She mustered a smile, picked up a pen, and signed her name on the document before handing it back to Ruby. Ruby gave the signed paper a quick once-over.
