Sam was silent, and Quinn could not see his reaction in the darkness, let alone tell if he was willing.

Nonetheless, she pressed, "It's possible that we missed out on our chance to be together, and I won't deny liking Ryan as a child—"

"I don't need you to push yourself," Sam said flatly, pursing his lips.

"Can you let me finish?" she asked with a hint of plea in her voice.

Sam stayed silent, and taking that for his approval, Quinn mustered her courage to continue. "At the time, I just felt he was good to me. He protected me like a brother after what happened to my family, giving me warmth, while you always made me cry…"

Sam gulped, remembering the past just then.

After all, she was always tagging along with Ryan wherever he went, and it was exasperating how she was always calling out to Ryan.

That was why he played a prank on her when she was alone, pulling her hair and bringing a spider.

But that was the one time Quinn really got upset and shoved him as hard as she could.
