Love Unspoken

Without a moment's hesitation, Orion snatched up the car keys and ferried Quinn to her workplace. He navigated the city streets with a swift precision, his primary aim to ensure her timely arrival and to sidestep the impending rush hour. As he handed her a carton of milk, he confessed, "I had initially planned to treat you to breakfast, but I hadn't realized you were still employed. I had you pegged as a student."

Accepting the milk, Quinn pressed her lips together in a tight line before taking a tentative sip.

Unfazed by her silence, Orion carried on, "It seems we're more alike than I thought. People often mistake me for a college student, even though I'm already 25."

His revelation caught Quinn off guard. She stole a quick glance at Orion, who was focused on the road. From his casual attire and easy-going demeanor, it was hard to believe he was 25. Perhaps it was the youthful air about him that had led her to assume he was a mere college student.

Anticipating her unspoken question, Orion volunteered, "Aside from what you've seen, I also spend my time volunteering at an orphanage. And yes, I do have a regular job. I work at a pet supply company, a place where one can find everything they need for their pets. If you ever decide to get a dog, let me know. I can get you a discount on dog food."

Quinn offered him a half-hearted smile, jotting down a note about Orion's age, his job, and the potential discount on dog food.

Catching a glimpse of her notes, Orion chuckled, "Are you writing that down to hold me accountable? Don't worry, I won't back out. Our dog food is top-notch."

Quinn smiled in response, tucking her notebook back into her bag.
