Love Unspoken

After sticking a fever patch on Brandy, Quinn held her tight all night, unable to sleep, just watching over her. Alexander sat with Quinn. The rain drizzled outside, and the room was wrapped in silence.

Kyle went off to find a room to crash in by himself.

Alexander said, "Go get some sleep. I'll hold her."

Quinn shook her head. "You sleep. I can't sleep anyway."

She touched Brandy's forehead. "It's not as hot anymore. If she doesn't have a fever tomorrow, she should be fine."

Alexander sighed and patted her hair. "She'll be okay, don't worry."

Quinn nodded. "Okay."

Neither of them slept all night, keeping watch over Brandy until dawn. Sprout, squeezed in the middle, slept soundly and didn't wake up all night.

In the morning, Brandy woke up groggily in Quinn's arms. She stared at Quinn with wide eyes, not moving.

If Quinn hadn't looked down and seen Brandy's open eyes, she would've thought Brandy was still asleep.

Her face lit up with joy. "Brandy, you're awake? Does your head still hurt?"

Brandy slowly shook her head, a hint of guilt on her face. "Mommy, I'm sorry."

Quinn was taken aback. "Why are you saying sorry out of the blue?"

Brandy blinked and said, "I got sick and made you stay up all night." Quinn felt a pang of guilt in her heart.
