Love Unspoken

Quinn's eyes lit up as he stared at the distant black ship. "Is that Maddox and the others?"

Alexander squinted, but it was too far to see clearly. He could only tell it was a ship.

Kyle heard the conversation and quickly ran over, exclaiming, "Does it feel like they're here? How dare they sail in this weather!" Quinn turned to look at him. "Are you sure that's Maddox?"

Kyle replied, "Isn't it coming in our direction? Who else could it be? Mrs. Kennedy, should we get ready to board?"

Quinn hesitated. "Let's wait until they disembark."

'Just because they arrived safely in this weather doesn't mean they can return safely right away,' Quinn thought.

It took almost forty minutes for the ship to get close, and Quinn's legs were weak by then.

Seeing people disembark, she immediately ran down the path to the beach.

As expected, it was Maddox and the others, with Sean among them. They were happy to see Quinn, and Maddox strode over to her. "Quinn!"

Quinn's face was filled with joy and worry. "Why did you come now? It could rain heavily at any moment."

Maddox replied, "No worries. We checked; it won't rain for the next eight hours, so we set off early. We made it safely. Did you bring Sprout and Brandy?" Quinn replied, "Yes, they're inside."

Maddox grinned. "I'll go see them! It's been so long; I wonder how Sprout has grown."

He quickly walked past Quinn towards the village.

Quinn smirked. Why did it feel like he was more interested in Sprout and Brandy than in her?
