A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1477

Quinn did not offer to leave or ask them to, and so Marvin and Lindsay remained awkwardly quiet even if they wanted to leave.

Everyone simply remained in the hallway in silence, while Quinn continued to text Cordy.

On the other end, Cordy and the rest had already met up with Sam.

Since Cordy was pregnant and unable to stay at a lively place like the bar, they moved to Cranston Hall, where Sam, John, Sean Cranston, and Patrick Stuart continued drinking.

Cordy, who was getting tired, sent Quinn one last photo and a text.

Cordy: [Sorry, I can't stay up—I have to go to bed. Don't worry, Sam will be fine with John and the others.]

Quinn: [Okay. Get some rest soon. Sorry for the trouble.]

Cordy: [Again, you're welcome.]

Quinn put away her phone, and turned to see Lindsay leaning against Marvin, clearly past her limit. If she had not started that fight with Sam and allowed him to sleep, he would have been here to take over and they would not be suffering.

Still, Quinn could not live with herself to see them like that.

"It's late now," she said. "You can go back to the hotel. I'll stay with Ryan and contact you right away if anything happens."

Lindsay certainly did not insist on staying and even affectionately asked, "Can you take it, Quinn? You can leave if you can't. We'll stay with Ryan—just come back when you wake up."

"No, you can leave. I can still stay—you can return here once you're up."

Lindsay appeared to be hesitant and glanced at Marvin, who nodded. "We'll get going now. Thank you for staying here day and night, Quinn."

"It's no problem." Quinn smiled.
