The doctor extended his hand, offering the phone to Quinn. She accepted it, her fingers lightly brushing against
his as she took the device. Unlocking it, her eyes quickly scanned the screen, confirming her suspicions. A string
of messages from Abigail filled the display.
Abigail's words were filled with concern and curiosity, questioning the duration of Quinn's journey to Hamilton,
her current location, and the reason behind her silence. She also inquired if anything untoward had occurred.
Quinn meticulously read each message, her lips pressing together in a tight line. She began to craft a response
to Abigail.
"Forgive me, Abigail. I've returned home. | won't be journeying to Hamilton."
Meanwhile, Abigail remained at the rest stop, her eyes scanning the message. She paused, a spark of anger
igniting within her.
Abigail responded, "What do you mean?"
Quinn could almost feel the heat radiating from Abigail's words. She closed her eyes momentarily, gathering her
thoughts. When she opened them again, her fingers danced across the screen, "I've cto realize that | can't
abandon him." "I'm sorry, Abigail," she typed, her heart heavy with regret. "Please, take care of yourself. If the
opportunity arises, I'll apologize in person."
Having sent the messages, Quinn's hand dropped to her side, her strength seemingly drained. A veil of tears
blurred her vision.
She had yearned to leave Amber Bay, to explore the world alongside Abigail, whether as a nomad or a world
traveler. Anything seemed preferable to a lifettethered to Alexander.
For two decades, her emotions, her life, every passing year had been consumed by him. His presence was

She was Alexander's wife, a dummy of The Kennedys, their adopted child, the pitiful orphan. She was everything
except herself.
Amber Bay felt like an invisible prison, chaining her to Alexander's side, forever barring her from the outside
world. Yet, she was trapped, caged with no means of escape.
She could never justify crippling Abigail's freedom for her own liberation. Abigail could soar on her own, exploring
the world on Quinn's behalf.
Abigail stared at the message for a long time, unsure of how to respond. Eventually, she composed a reply to
Quinn.
"Forget it. It's your choice. | don't blyou. Just remember to take care of yourself. The path you've chosen is
yours alone to tread from now on."
With a flick of her thumb, she sent the message and tossed her phone onto the passenger seat, her irritation
palpable. She would return eventually, but that could be several years away. Several years could change
everything beyond recognition.

As Quinn read the message, a sharp sting pricked her nose, and tears began to fall. For a moment, she
questioned whether she had saved Abigail or if Alexander had deliberately driven Abigail away. His sudden
appearance after Abigail's departure, following a three-day absence, seemed too coincidental.
Quinn didn't want to dwell on it-she couldn't bear to. She knew she couldn't outmaneuver Alexander, especially
when outsmarting Walter seemed an impossible task.
