Love Unspoken

The scent of gardenias was the most prominent, a familiar fragrance that soothed her frenzied heart as she detected the rhythmic throb of the man's heartbeat within his chest.

Quinn extended her arms, wrapping them around his sturdy waist, and buried her face in his comforting embrace, greedily inhaling his scent.

In response, Alexander held her close, his hand gently stroking her back in a silent reassurance.

After a period of time that seemed both eternal and fleeting, the trembling figure in his arms finally stilled. Alexander gently released her and whispered, "Why don't you go sleep in the bedroom?" Lifting her gaze to meet his, Quinn's eyes were a stormy sea of red and watery, silently questioning him if he intended to leave her alone.

With those words, he scooped Quinn into his arms and carried her into the bedroom.

He pulled back the pristine white sheets on the bed, gently laying her down. He then moved to the closet, retrieving a blanket which he carefully draped over Quinn.

Throughout this, Quinn's gaze never left him, her eyes tracking his every movement around the room, as if fearful he would disappear.

Catching her anxious gaze, Alexander reassured her, "You sleep first. I'll take a quick shower."
