Love Unspoken

Chapter 1217

Seeing Alexander wasn't biting, Casey piped up, "Hey, my mom whipped this up herself. It's super clean."

Quinn grabbed it, popped it open, and peeked inside. Looked pretty good. She hadn't had a decent meal in days and was starving, so she dug in with a spoon. Casey handed the other portion to Alexander.

He hesitated but finally took it. Pulled out a couple of bucks from his pocket and tossed them her way.

Casey's eyes lit up, and she snatched the cash, stuffing it into her pocket. She squatted down next to him and said, "Tell me what you wanna eat. My mom can cook anything." "Ask her," Alexander said, nodding towards Quinn.

Casey nodded like crazy and ran over to squat next to Quinn. "Tell me what you wanna eat. I'll handle all your meals."

Quinn paused and forced a smile.

Casey then whispered, "Are you guys the new bosses around here?"

Before Quinn could answer, she blurted out, "Can I work for you? I can do more than just translate. I know all the roads, how to grow poppies. I'm tough. I can fight, even kill." Quinn looked at her, surprised. "Is that what you used to do?"
