Love Unspoken

"What are you implying?" Alexander's voice cut through Getty's rambling like a knife through butter, his tone icy and abrupt.

Getty found herself taken aback, her gaze fixated on the expressionless face of the man before her, her daydreams abruptly shattered."I was suggesting... now that you're divorced, perhaps you might consider marrying me?" "Who told you about the divorce?"

Alexander retorted, his question hanging in the air between them.Getty attempted to justify her assumptions. "Quinn said it herself just now. Besides, if you guys weren't divorced, how could she possibly be out watching a movie with another man?"

Without uttering a word, he turned on his heel and began striding toward the parking lot, leaving a stunned Getty behind. For a moment, Getty remained rooted to the spot, her initial elation swiftly replaced by a sinking feeling of dismay. She couldn't fathom the idea of Quinn lying, and the thought was hard to swallow.
