"Yeah," Quinn replied.

"Well, Sam's busy and Saunderia is his responsibility now," Lindsay said. "It's good that he's going back to North City. Now that Ryan's much better, he doesn’t need everyone all the time."

She wanted to soften the blow, since she could tell immediately that Quinn was depressed, having raised Quinn herself.

"Yeah." Quinn nodded, smiling faintly.

Mom, Dad,” Ryan said just then. "It's been hard on you, so why don't you get some rest? I've already left the ICU and the doctors said I'm fine. I just need to adjust and get discharged in a few days."

"Sure," Lindsay said in agreement, relieved that Ryan had improved so much.

However, she also knew that Ryan wanted to be alone with Quinn. She added, "We're going now. Please take good care of Ryan, Quinn."

In reality, Quinn was not given a choice aside from staying and taking care of Ryan.

"Okay." Quinn nodded.

That in turn improved Ryan's mood considerably.

As Lindsay and Marvin left, Marvin sighed audibly, upset with the arrangement.

But there was nothing to be done about it.

With Marvin and Lindsay gone and just them left in the room, Quinn broke the silence and asked Ryan, "Would you like some fruit?"

"Sure, thanks," Ryan said, staring at her as she picked up a pear and peeled it seriously, feeling high-spirited just then.

When she was finally done, she cut it into little slices and put it on a plate in front of Ryan. "Take your time."

"Aren't you eating?" Ryan asked.
