The scent of gardenias was the most prominent, a familiar fragrance that soothed her frenzied heart as she
detected the rhythmic throb of the man's heartbeat within his chest.
Quinn extended her arms, wrapping them around his sturdy waist, and buried her face in his comforting
embrace, greedily inhaling his scent.
In response, Alexander held her close, his hand gently stroking her back in a silent reassurance.
After a period of tthat seemed both eternal and fleeting, the trembling figure in his arms finally stilled.
Alexander gently released her and whispered, "Why don't you go sleep in the bedroom?" Lifting her gaze to meet
his, Quinn's eyes were a stormy sea of red and watery, silently questioning him if he intended to leave her alone.
With a tender touch, he wiped away the tears pooling at the corners of her eyes and murmured, "I'll stay with
you."
With those words, he scooped Quinn into his arms and carried her into the bedroom.
He pulled back the pristine white sheets on the bed, gently laying her down. He then moved to the closet,
retrieving a blanket which he carefully draped over Quinn.
Throughout this, Quinn's gaze never left him, her eyes tracking his every movement around the room, as if
fearful he would disappear.
Catching her anxious gaze, Alexander reassured her, "You sleep first. I'll take a quick shower."
He grabbed a robe and pushed open the bathroom door, the sound of running water soon filling the room.
Gradually, Quinn's grip on the corner of the blanket loosened. Her eyes slowly closed, the storm raging outside
no longer instilling the sfear within her.

nothing to fear.

Occasionally, flashes of lightning would penetrate the room, visible even with her eyes shut.
To shield herself, she pulled the blanket over her head.

After a while, the sound of water rushing in the bathroom began to lull her, her body relaxing as sleep started to
claim her.
The bed dipped beside her, a cool breeze slipping under the blanket, followed by a colder touch tracing her face
and body.
Quinn's eyes fluttered open, greeted by the sight of a handsface.
Alexander's icy fingers gently brushed her cheek before slipping under the blanket, encircling her waist and
drawing her into his embrace.
Quinn studied him, trying to decipher his intentions.
Unsure if the man before her was a figment of her imagination, she mustered her courage and reached out to
touch his cheek.
His skin was soft and warm, the sensation akin to touching a living, breathing person.
Alexander caught her hand and stared at her expressionlessly.

broke the silence, his tone unreadable, "Quinn, what is it that you want?"
Taken aback by his question, Quinn's gaze flickered, confusion clouding her eyes.
Alexander continued to stare at her, his silence hanging heavy in the air, as if he was awaiting her response.
Quinn averted her gaze, pressing her face against his chest, and nestled deeper into his embrace, her arms
tightly wound around his waist.
