Love Unspoken

Chapter 1578

Quinn was still on the fence about bringing Sprout and Brandy along. After mulling it over, she decided against it. Having two kids with her if things went south would be a hassle. Plus, Briar was already a pro at looking after them. Sprout was way more well-behaved now, and Briar could handle him.

There was even less to worry about with Brandy.

Once everything was set, Alexander and Quinn hit the road.

First, they hopped on a plane, then switched to a boat after landing, and kept changing up their transportation until they finally rolled into a seaside fishing village.

Quinn took in the view-sea in front, mountains behind and shot Alexander a puzzled look. "Is Calvin here?"

Alexander shook his head. "Nope, he's not here. Just hang tight."

He set the suitcase down for her to sit and chill.

Quinn hadn't expected it to be such a hassle. Good thing she didn't bring Sprout and Brandy. After two days of travel, they still hadn't reached their destination. She wondered where Calvin could be hiding. The village looked deserted. Not a soul in sight, and the paths were overgrown with weeds. The houses peeking through the grass were in shambles.

As night crept in, Quinn started to get the creeps. "What are we waiting for here? This place is giving me the heebie-jeebies."

Alexander plopped down next to her. "Waiting for someone to pick us up."

He glanced at his watch. "At this hour, they might be lost at sea."

He tried to comfort her, "They're not familiar with these parts, and you insisted on coming. Let's just crash here tonight."

Quinn instinctively glanced back at the village. The setting sun cast an eerie orange glow over the buildings, making them look both beautiful and unsettling.

The sea stretched out endlessly in front, and the village behind was eerily quiet, except for the occasional rustle of wind through the weeds.

It felt like a scene straight out of a horror flick, full of terror and weirdness.

She nervously asked, "There aren't any ghosts here, right?"

Alexander gave her a mysterious look and suddenly said, "Yep."

Quinn's face went pale, and she scooted closer to him. "Don't mess with me. I'm kinda scared."

Alexander wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close. "It's okay. I'm here. I'll protect you."

Quinn asked, "Can you fight a ghost?"

Alexander replied, "Nope, but I can run with you."

Quinn forced a smile. Seeing the teasing glint in his eyes, she playfully punched him. "You're scaring me!"

Alexander said, "Alright, alright. Don't worry, they'll find us. It might just take a bit. The scenery here isn't bad; think of it as a mini-vacation."
