Love Unspoken

Luckily, Aurora didn't take long to come back. When she walked in and saw Landon and Abigail chilling, she smiled.

Abigail saw her chance, got up, and said, "Aurora, something came up. I can't stay for dinner. Gotta go."

Aurora quickly put down the dishes. "Why are you leaving so suddenly?"

"It's urgent," Abigail replied.

"What could be so urgent that you can't even stay for dinner?" Aurora pressed.

Abigail didn't expect Aurora to push. Her mind went blank for a second, and she quickly made up an excuse. "My wound hurts. I need to go to the hospital for a check-up!" Aurora was surprised. "That's serious. Landon, take Abigail to the hospital."

"No. No need," Abigail said, waving her hands. If Landon took her, what was the point of leaving?

"Why not? What if your wound is infected? It's not safe to go alone. Better to have someone with you," Aurora insisted.

Abigail looked helpless. She glanced at Landon, giving him a look. Why wasn't he saying anything?

Shouldn't Landon be the one to refuse and let her leave quickly?

Landon stayed silent, neither urging Abigail to leave nor agreeing with Aurora. He just sat there, cleaning his glasses like it had nothing to do with him.

Abigail thought for a moment and then awkwardly said, "Suddenly, I feel better. Aurora, let me help you carry these inside."

Staying with Aurora and Landon was better than being alone with Landon. Three's company, right?

Aurora declined Abigail's offer, but Abigail still grabbed something and followed her into the kitchen.

She helped sort through the groceries and watched Aurora busy herself. She felt like talking several times but held back each time.

Aurora noticed and turned to her. "What's wrong, Abigail? Got something to say?"
