and made her way indoors.
A light drizzle had begun to fall, prompting the others to follow suit, leaving the house devoid of occupants save
for one.Quinn stood alone, her eyes tracing the path of the family as they disappeared into the house.

the scattered pieces, his steps measured as he moved towards Quinn."Quinn, the fruit's bruised," he said, his
voice carrying a note of concern. He turned his gaze to her, his face wearing a smile that was perfectly balanced

with you?" he asked.Quinn shook her head, her hands forming a shrug, "I don't know. He's probably busy."
Wayne's expression hardened, he nudged Freya, "Didn't you tell him?""l texted him this afternoon. Who knows
what he's up to," Freya replied, her voice laced with irritation. The unspoken suspicion that

Wayne grumbled under his breath, "That kid," before instructing Freya to call him. She nodded and began dialing
Alexander's number.In the midst of the waiting silence, an orange cflying towards Quinn. She looked up to
