Love Unspoken

With a tentative reach of her hand, she sought to touch the face before her. Suddenly, clarity returned to her vision, her eyes flickered, and she hastily withdrew her hand. Alexander, unbothered by her actions, held her and continued to Sebastian-feed her soup. Quinn closed her eyes and turned her head away, but he remained unfazed. His eyes darkened, and he moved his hand from her shoulder to her jaw, gripping it firmly. The pain left Quinn with no choice but to open her mouth.

The soup, warm and unexpected, slid into her mouth, triggering a fit of coughing. Most of the soup was expelled in the process.

The discomfort from the coughing was intense, and her eyes gradually reddened from the irritation.

Despite her pallor and reddened eyes, Quinn's appearance was striking, akin to roses blooming in a parched desert.

Alexander, however, remained expressionless, disregarding her coughing fit and persisting with the feeding.

In a weak attempt, Quinn lifted her hand to push away the bowl, but her strength failed her. Her fingers brushed against his arm, the touch almost tender.

Desperation set in, and she clenched her teeth, refusing the soup he offered.

In response, he pinched her jaw, applying a force that felt as though he intended to crush her bones.

Unable to withstand the pain, Quinn opened her mouth once more, and he patiently ladled another Sebastianful of soup into her mouth.

Eventually, Quinn surrendered and swallowed the soup.

The room fell silent, save for the clinking of the empty bowl and Sebastian.
