Love Unspoken

Sebastian nodded in understanding, choosing not to probe further as the day's events had provided him with ample insight. Secretly giving Orion a thumbs-up in admiration, he marveled at his brother's audacity-snatching another man's wife had clearly left the victim reeling with fury.

Emerging from her room in the newly exchanged attire, Quinn, in her long black down jacket trailing to her heels, appeared slightly awkward in the oversized garment. Both its size and her slim figure make her head and body looked distinctly out of place.

"Your hair is still wet." Orion seized her hand and guided her back inside, urging her onto the bed where he proceeded to assist in blow-drying her hair.

Quinn felt uneasy, nervously seating on the bed. The sound of the blow-dryer and the sensation of his fingers combing through her hair led her mind astray once more. Without looking up, she often mistook the figure behind her for Alexander.

Alexander had spoken the truth, and she was raised by him. His most cherished moments included bathing her, drying and styling her hair. Long ago, he always wore a black headband around his wrist, just as Quinn enjoyed grooming her dolls. However, her dolls had ultimately met the same fate-abandoned in a cluttered room.

As Orion blow-dried her hair, he stole occasional glances, sensing Quinn's distress. Unsure if it stemmed from Alexander or their marriage, Orion's guilt compounded further. The clandestine nature of their marriage application only added to his remorse, a murky affiliation that he dared not reveal to even his parents.
