Love Unspoken

Chapter 29

A tall, slender figure stood in the doorway, his face obscured by the backlighting, making it difficult for Quinn to

see him clearly.

She tightened her grip on the plate she was holding. Quinn was puzzled by Alexander's sudden appearance.

'Hadn't he moved on to a happy life with Getty by now?’ "Having fun?" His voice cut through the silence, casual

as if her absence had been a mere caprice.

The diner's owner's wife, Mrs. Jenkins, looked on in confusion, her eyes flicking between them. "And who might
