With these words, Alexander ended the call, his attention shifting towards Quinn. He allowed her the first move
in their silent chess game.
After a moment of internal struggle, Quinn raised her hands, her fingers dancing in the air as she signed, "Can
Juliet stay?"
"Is this your reason for seekingout?" Alexander questioned, his gaze narrowing as Quinn's eyes fell, her hair
acting as a veil to hide her emotions.
She continued her silent plea, her hands signing with a sense of urgency, "Don't you remember her?"

a pause, "Not this time."
A bitter smile pulled at Quinn's dry lips. She thought, 'This one tis all | asked for.
"You can't be too greedy," he said, his voice as deep as before, holding her hands to prevent further
communication. "Since you can't make a choice, allowto choose for you.
"Panic flared in Quinn's eyes as she tried to pull away from Alexander. Her struggles only caused him to tighten
his grip, her wrists aching under the pressure. Desperate, she opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came
