Love Unspoken

Quinn stood bewildered in the water, her hair tied up in a bun. Orion had done it for her, but it was poorly done, messy, with some stray hairs wet and sticking to her cheeks.

But Quinn's entire small face was still exposed, along with her loose hair, exuding a lazy beauty.

Her black and white eyes stared straight at Alexander, somewhat unfamiliar yet nervous. Alexander made no move, casually watching Quinn.

Quinn tore her gaze away, scanning the surroundings for any sign of Orion. When she couldn't spot him, her anxiety heightened. She stumbled towards the edge of the hot spring, her movements filled with worry.

Upon reaching land, the cold wind made Quinn shiver, and she hurriedly grabbed a bathrobe from a nearby chair and put it on. Quinn then made her way to the wooden house, searching every nook and cranny in the yard, but Orion was nowhere to be found..

Glancing back, Quinn saw Alexander still by the hot spring pool, watching her from a distance.

She bit her lip, mustering the courage to approach Alexander. She raised her hand, lacking the knowledge of complex sign language; she could only gesture based on instinct. "He's gone," she said.

Quinn thought to herself, 'Alexander has helped Orion and me before. He can't be all bad.'
