A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1312

"Did I misunderstand anything?" Sam asked nonchalantly.

"You did," Quinn said confidently. "I was surprised Ryan uploaded it at all."

"And you would've pretend it never happened if he didn't?" Sam snorted in amusement. "That there's nothing going on between you two?"

"No," Quinn was a little flustered—Sam was never that shrewd.

His grades were poor and he always goofed up, and yet she could not retort against what he said.

Still, she said patiently, "I mean, he and I were just taking normal photos of our travels, but it complicates matters when he posted it. That's why I was worried you'd misunderstand—that's why I came back."

Sam's heart skipped a beat—she seemed serious about this…

Moreover, she was probably doing this out of guilt.

Still, Quinn did not press him. "You should take your bath. I'll prepare it for you."

She understood that he would not change right away—this was a long process, and she had to give him time and patience…
