Love Unspoken

Chapter 1588

They sat there in silence for what felt like forever, the sea breeze doing its thing, sweeping across the beach. As the night dragged on, it got even colder. After a bit, Alexander broke the silence. "We should head back. It's getting late."

Quinn sighed. "Even if we go back, I won't be able to sleep. Are you tired?"

"Not really. Just worried you might be cold. If you wanna stay a bit longer, that's cool," Alexander said, taking off his jacket and putting it over her shoulders. Quinn looked at the jacket, then stood up. "Let's go back. It's too dark here, and there's nothing to see."

"We could wait for the sunrise," Alexander suggested.

Quinn thought about it for a second. "Do you want to see it?"

"If you do, I'll wait with you," Alexander said. "Doesn't matter what we do, as long as I'm with you."

Quinn was caught off guard by his sudden romantic words. She sat back down. "Alright, let's wait for the sunrise. What time does it come up?"

"At this latitude, around four," Alexander replied.

Quinn checked her phone. It was already 2:30 AM, so they only had to wait a bit over an hour. "Let's wait then. We can't sleep anyway."

"Okay," Alexander agreed.

They sat there, trying to find something to talk about. Quinn finally said, "Abigail mentioned she was going on a honeymoon. Wonder where they're going. We should've tricked them into coming here." Alexander laughed. "You can still do that."

"Isn't there no signal here?" Quinn asked.

Alexander thought for a moment. "Then we'll wait till we get back and trick them into coming next time to help us build a house."

"Good idea. But are you sure they'll help us build a house?" Quinn asked.

"Who knows," Alexander replied.

Quinn glanced at him. He looked so tired, like he had convinced himself he was old, making him look like an old man now.

Leaning on his shoulder, Quinn asked, "You said you wanted to take us on a trip. When do you plan to go?"

"Let's see. We still need to build the house. How about after that's done?" Alexander suggested.

"Sure, we have plenty of time anyway," Quinn agreed.

Alexander fell silent, and when he was quiet, they both were.

sky was already bright at four o'clock, and it stayed dark so late at night. Being woken up by the sunlight in the morning was pretty annoying. But keeping the trees perfectly solved this problem. By the time the sun fully penetrated the forest, it would probably be seven or eight o'clock. The walk back was quiet, with everyone else still asleep and only the birds in the forest chirping.
