Love Unspoken

Even though Alexander didn't spill the beans, Quinn totally got the gist. He was probably talking about that mountain incident when Walter took a nosedive right in front of her, which pretty much nuked their relationship. Alexander was likely trying to say he didn't want any more drama with her because of Walter. If Walter wanted to mess with him, he'd just suck it up.

"Can't you just bounce from here?" Quinn asked, feeling all kinds of helpless.

Alexander just stared at her, giving her the silent treatment.

Quinn felt a wave of anger bubbling up again; she almost wanted to deck Alexander.

"Don't get all worked up. Even if I bite the dust here, it's got nothing to do with you. I won't hold it against you," Alexander said.

"Wow, how noble of you," Quinn shot back, dripping with sarcasm.

"As long as I can see you, I'll die happy," Alexander said, all sincere-like.

Quinn frowned, staring into Alexander's eyes, which were oozing with deep affection. A flicker of doubt crossed her mind.

From all the years she knew Alexander, he never talked like this. Even when she was on death's door, he never laid his feelings out so plainly.

They both knew what Ulysses did was a massive wall between them, not something a few sweet words or an apology could fix.
