Love Unspoken

Alexander found it somewhat amusing as he pinched her cheeks and sighed. "Are you silly?"

He said again, "In this kind of place, even if I don't want you, where else can I go?"

Quinn pursed her lips. She couldn't think much. Waking up and not seeing him, her natural first reaction was feeling abandoned.

Her bright blue eyes stared directly at him, tears hanging at the corners, looking as pitiful as could be.

There was always a magical charm on Quinn's face. A pout from her small mouth could easily dissipate one's temper.

Alexander gazed at her for a while, then sighed helplessly and pulled her up by the arm.

With Alexander around, the wind seemed to soften, and the bird songs in the branches no longer sounded eerie, as if singing a lullaby for the birds.

Alexander put his arm around her shoulder; and Quinn nestled tightly in his embrace as they walked through the bushes.

Quinn had run too deep into the forest. They had been walking for a long time but still hadn't found their way out. The trees around them all looked the same; and the canopy overhead was so dense that they couldn't use the night sky to determine their direction. To put it another way, they were completely lost.

Alexander had only one lighter, which he extinguished after finding Quinn. Now, they were completely blind in the forest, making it dangerous to proceed.
