Love Unspoken

Alexander chuckled and yanked out a beat-up notebook from his pocket.

It was already falling apart, and after flipping through it a million times over the past year, it looked even worse.

He gently ran his fingers over the scribbles and muttered to himself, "I messed up big time with her. Just sitting around waiting for someone to bring her back? That's no different from before. I could never keep her."

Sean was floored, not knowing what to say. After a long pause, he finally blurted out, "If she knew how much you care, she'd totally forgive you."

Alexander shook his head and sighed, "I'm not doing this for her forgiveness."

He closed his eyes and, in a much softer voice, said, "I just feel like if I don't do something, even if I see her, I won't be able to face her."

He added, "As long as she's alive, that's enough. At least I know she's out there somewhere, talking, laughing, doing what she loves."

Sean nodded seriously, saying, "But what if you're wrong, and she's... gone?"

Alexander shot him a fierce glare.

Sean instinctively covered his mouth and rolled off the couch. "I'll go feed Buddy and Liberty."

With that, he bolted.

Running into the kitchen, he slapped himself. He really shouldn't have said that.

Kyle had warned him not to speak carelessly, saying that giving Alexander some hope and motivation to live was good, even if it took one year, two years, ten years, or fifty years.

At least during those years, Alexander would be living with hope. Even if he was disappointed at the last moment of his life, it was better than spending year after year in disappointment.

Actually, Alexander's way of searching wasn't entirely about doing something. Because he wasn't even a hundred percent sure that Quinn was still alive. If he mobilized everyone to search and the result was disappointing, it would only make him more disheartened.

However, searching on his own was different. If he didn't find her, he would just comfort himself by thinking he hadn't searched enough places. If this place didn't have her, he could go to the next place.

Alexander turned off the TV and leaned back on the couch with his eyes closed. The heavy snow outside, accompanied by the howling wind, was even worse than the day Quinn left him.

Since then, he had hated snowy days.

The third New Year was approaching, and he dreamed of her less and less. Even if he didn't deliberately think of her, everyone he saw on the street looked like her. However, over the past two years, Quinn rarely thought of Alexander.

No one mentioned him, there was no news of him, and no one spoke his name. She had left Alexander and was living her own life, just as she had always wanted. On New Year's Day, Walter gave her a New Year's gift.

Quinn took the box and opened it, only to find a cell phone inside.

She looked at Walter in surprise as she said, "A cell phone?"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Quinn had almost forgotten about cell phones. She took out the phone and turned it on. It was brand new but had a SIM card inside. Walter said, "This gift is for you. I hope you can truly start a new life."

Six months ago, Quinn had already gained her freedom. Walter had taught her how to drive, and most importantly, how to ride a horse.

In this prairie area, horses were everywhere, and it was hard to resist the temptation of riding. She actually preferred riding to driving.

She had visited many nearby towns but had never taken the opportunity to contact Alexander or anyone from Amber Bay, nor had she actively searched for any news about him. Walter knew all of this. Over the past two years, although Quinn lived with him, they were basically like familiar roommates, with no intimate interactions.

Because Quinn could never accept the way he had taken her away.

It wasn't until this moment that Quinn felt moved.

"Thank you," she said.

"You're welcome," Walter said with a smile. "I believe in you. If you could make it for the past two years, you can make it in the future too."
