Love Unspoken

He stood there, gazing out at the vast expanse of the sea, seemingly lost in a world of his own thoughts.

Quinn stirred from her slumber, the clock on the wall indicating it was already past seven in the evening. As she opened her eyes, the darkness outside was punctuated by the faint twinkling of stars reflected on the sea. A gentle breeze,

carrying a hint of sea salt, wafted through the open window, soothing her frayed nerves. There was something to be said about the healing power of beautiful scenery.

However, her mind was still foggy from sleep, and she struggled to remember why she was here. It took her a moment to recall that Alexander had brought her on this trip.

Rising from the bed, Quinn surveyed the room, finding it devoid of any other presence. The white curtains fluttered gently in the breeze, casting a soft light on the grey floor, creating an aura of cold silence.

With a sense of urgency, Quinn discarded the covers and climbed out of bed. She scanned the room, and once she was certain that Alexander wasn't there, the unfamiliar surroundings lost their romantic charm. Instead, they instilled a sense of unease within her.

She retreated back into the room, reaching for her phone. She quickly sent a message to Alexander, inquiring about his whereabouts. After what felt like an agonizing fifteen minutes, a response finally arrived. It was just a few words. Alexander: [I'm outside. Wait a bit. Don't wander around.]
