Love Unspoken

Quinn eyed him skeptically. "So, you know Landon pretty well, huh?"

Alexander shrugged. "We've been butting heads forever. He never beat me, but yeah, I know a bit about him."

Quinn wasn't buying it, but she didn't really know Landon either.

Alexander went on, "Ever since he came back to Amber Bay, it's like he's got a death wish."

"Why's that?" Quinn asked.

"Maybe he's been single too long and got bored," Alexander said with a smirk.

Quinn frowned. "Can you be serious? This is important."

"I am serious. Why don't you believe me?" Alexander said, still grinning.

Quinn rolled her eyes. "Being single too long? That's a dumb reason."

"You don't get it," Alexander said, shaking his head.

Quinn snapped back, "Fine! You know everything."

Alexander chuckled, pulled her close, and said, "Calm down. I mean, when someone's been single forever, falling in love can be terrifying." "How terrifying?" Quinn asked, despite herself.

"He'll regret his past. The more mistakes he's made, the harder it is to turn back. He can't face his feelings, gets stuck, tortures himself, and eventually goes nuts, doing even worse things until he destroys himself just to find some relief," Alexander explained.

Quinn felt a chill run through her.

Alexander didn't mention one thing: when Landon came to him and admitted defeat, it was the final straw.

With his last reason to keep going gone, Landon, despite the immense pressure, sought Alexander's help to find those people.
