Love Unspoken

Chapter 1188

Alexander stopped dead in his tracks and let out a heavy sigh, "Looks like we're totally lost." Hearing that, Quinn felt a wave of panic wash over her, losing any sense of safety she had left.

"It's okay. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you," Alexander reassured her, trudging a bit further.

The forest was already pretty dim, even when the sun was out. But now, it looked downright creepy. It was only afternoon, but it felt like it was closer to evening. If you weren't careful, getting lost was a piece of cake.

Alexander had been carrying her for what felt like forever. Quinn finally asked him to put her down, thinking this spot wasn't as freaky as the last one.

She was worried that if Alexander got too tired and they ran into trouble, they'd both be toast.

He set her down. Even though she was still scared, she clung to the rabbit in her hands.
