At this point, I was certain There was something serious wrong with the both of them.
One loved stealing what belonged to others, while the other thrived on self–sacrifice and wallowing in their own misery.
I took a deep breath to suppress my anger before saying, “Get out of here right now, or I swear I’ll kill you!”
“Henry, you and Sadie are a match made in heaven. The two of you should be locked together forever and stop ruining other people’s lives, you absolute trash!”
Henry then left in a flurry, stumbling and falling face–first as he ran.
I stood at the doorway with my hands on my hips, laughing hysterically. Being a shrew felt surprisingly good.
When I turned around, I saw Quinn standing there holding box of pastries, looking straight at me.
Crap. Had he heard what I just said?
Embarrassed, I fumbled for a way to explain myself, but to my surprise, he did not bring it up at all–not even after dinner.
Later, I knocked on the study door after my bath. Quinn was sitting in his chair, staring into space.
When he saw me, he gestured for me to come closer.
As soon as I approached, he pulled me into his lap, wrapping his arms tightly around me and burying his face against my chest.
“Honey, I need to confirm something…” he murmured.
“What is it?” I asked, though his sudden closeness was making me nervous.
Before I could finish the thought, he nibbled my earlobe and said in a husky voice, “Digging and digging in the little garden…”
At first, I was confused, wondering why he was speaking so quickly and suggestively. Then, my eyes widened in a flash of realization.
“Quinn Green!”
