With a swift, decisive motion, Quinn extended her hand to seize the notebook.

As if anticipating her move, he deftly flicked his wrist, tucking the notebook behind his shoulder, far from her

reach.

Her hand lingered in the air, fingers curled in a silent plea, while she bit her lip. Her eyes, a striking contrast of

black and white, were fixed on him with an intensity that was almost palpable."Who do you wish to share the

sight of the flowers with?" he asked, his voice echoing in the silence."And who would you choose to accompany

you in the hot air balloon?"Quinn's eyelashes fluttered in surprise, and she shook her head.

She hadn't considered the idea of company; her list was merely a safeguard against forgetfulness. She harbored

a fear that in a moment of blank memory, she would lose sight of those simple wishes. What cnaturally to

others, she feared, would becregrets in her own vacant spaces.

Alexander's gaze upon her turned icy, a stark contrast to the warmth of their previous exchange.

He gently held her chin, his voice low and insistent, "Tell me, who do you wish to accompany?"His grip was not

harsh-in fact, it was tender-but the intensity radiating from him made it difficult for Quinn to draw breath.

Her lips trembled, and after what seemed like an eternity, she managed to whisper, "No one."Her voice was

faint, reminiscent of a kitten's mew, with a hint of nasality that pierced his heart.

Alexander chuckled, his fingers tracing her chin, "It appears I've indeed made you feel insignificant.""l was

unaware that your heart had wandered so far away."Quinn reached for his hand, but he abruptly stood up

straight, leaving her hand grasping at thin air.

Alexander flipped open his notebook once more, his eyes skimming over the hastily scribbled text, before

glancing at Quinn.Upon catching his gaze, Quinn instinctively rose to her feet.

With a swift, deliberate motion, Alexander tore the notebook in half right before Quinn's eyes. Stunned, Quinn

watched as he continued to rip the pages - first in half, then quarters - until they were mere fragments.

With a flick of his wrist, the pieces fluttered through the air like snowflakes, scattering in all directions. "It

appears I'll have to impose on you a bit longer," he said, his tone indifferent as if what he had just destroyed was

of no consequence. The bits of paper drifted around Quinn, settling in her hair and on her shoulders, as if

attempting to offer sform of comfort.

With that, Alexander turned and ascended the stairs, his steps stirring the scattered scraps further.Quinn stood

silently in the living room, her gaze blankly fixed on the debris scattered across the floor.

It took her a moment to kneel down and begin gathering the shredded paper, like insignificant wishes torn apart.

She lay on the floor, gathering the pieces from under the coffee table, then those hidden beneath the sofa. From

the second floor, Alexander watched her, hands in his pockets, his gaze focused on the figure kneeling below.

She collected those fragments with such meticulous care, as if she was gathering rare treasures. He couldn't

have known that what he had so carelessly shredded were things Quinn had struggled to remember. Perhaps by

tomorrow, she would no longer recall them.
