At that very moment, Quinn spotted a glass of water and a pill.
There was a note under it that read 'morning after pill'.
Quinn stared at the pill and the glass, understanding how it felt to have her parade rained on just then.
Her chest ached, but Sam's meaning was clear—last night was just a moment of impulsiveness between two adults.
No responsibility would be taken, no sentiment would be retained.
Quinn picked up the pill and laughed miserably.

Quinn only returned to Saunders Mansion at noon.
Her phone was out of juice as well, so she had no idea how many times Ryan would have called her by now.
As soon as she stepped inside the drawing room, she found Ryan glowering at her, clearly angry.
On the other hand, both Lindsay and Marvin were clearly concerned. "Where have you been, Quinn? Why did you turn off your phone? We called Zoe, who said you left with Sam, but Sam said you weren't with him when we called him. Where did you go? Are you alright?!"
Quinn stared at them and shook her head. "I'm fine. I was just drunk and stayed the night at Sam's."
At her words, Ryan immediately snapped, "What did you promise me, Quinn?! But you'd stay the night at Sam's?!"
"What did I promise you?" Quinn shot back.
Ryan was left fuming but could not manage a word.
It was only natural he could not since he was the one coercing her.
Quinn then continued bluntly, "Sam and I aren't divorced yet. Whatever we did, it was perfectly legal."
"But—"
"Anything else can wait after the divorce," Quinn said flatly. "I'm tired. I'm going back to my room."
She strode upstairs right then, ignoring the fact that Ryan was seething.
