Love Unspoken

After Walter's car took off, Alexander shot a quick glance at Sean.

Sean got the hint right away, waved everyone off, and he and Matthew hightailed it back to the hotel.

Sean ran a few steps, then doubled back to grab Alexander's coat.

Quinn came barreling down the road on her horse, pulling up hard in front of Alexander, yanking the reins.

She had her phone out, its light hitting Alexander. When she saw his face, her expression shifted, and she jumped off the horse in a hurry.

"What happened to you?" she asked, her voice full of worry.

She held the phone up, checking him out. His face was a bloody mess. She grabbed his hand, and yep, more blood.

Alexander weakly lifted his head, gave her a little shake of his head, and said, "I'm good."

"Did someone come after you?" Quinn asked.

"Nah, just helped a old man who fell off his horse. This blood ain't mine," Alexander said, barely hanging on.

Quinn frowned, not buying it.
