Love Unspoken

At least after Quinn turned thirteen, she no longer let Alexander bathe her.

She learned about the differences between males and females. Every time he mentioned bathing her, she would blush and lock him out of the bathroom.

Then, she patiently explained to him that she had taken biology class, and the teacher had talked about the differences between males and females, so they should avoid suspicion.

When would he be able to help her bathe again? Probably after they got married.

By that time, she comprehended nearly everything, encompassing the dynamics within marriages and the interactions between genders.

His gaze shifted to Quinn's face.
