Love Unspoken

Quinn's eyelids drooped in agreement, her gaze softening. Abruptly, he rose to his feet, his face set in a stern expression. Without uttering a single word, he strode out of the room. Quinn, however, was quick to react. She sprang out of bed, catching up to him and seizing his arm.

He halted in his tracks, pausing for a moment before turning his head to regard her. After a few seconds of silence, Quinn released her grip on him, her hand gesturing towards Juliet. Her fingers, swathed in gauze, made her gestures less precise. She was uncertain if he would comprehend her silent plea.

His previously relaxed expression hardened slightly at her gestures. "I don't understand," he spat out, his voice laced with anger. He slammed the door shut, the gust of wind rustling Quinn's hair and whispering in her ears. She stood rooted to the spot, her mind reeling.

Did he truly not comprehend? Or was it that he chose not to? She tugged at the corner of her mouth in self-deprecation. It didn't matter. If he chose not to understand, he would remain oblivious.

He was a master at feigning ignorance.
