Sam drove for so long he could no longer see Quinn's dainty silhouette, and he stopped his car beside the road.
He was struggling against himself.
He left her in the middle of nowhere, miles far from the highway, and it would take her at least half a day to get out of there.
What if she did not make it out?
And Quinn was always so stubborn she would never give in, least of all to him.
Sam punched the steering wheel at the thought, frustrated.
He could not help turning to the passenger seat beside him, his heart suddenly stopping for a moment.
That was her first time?
But how was that possible?
He restarted the car, feeling the need to ask.
In truth, he was just giving himself an excuse to go back.
No matter what Quinn's response was or how she would reject him, he would take her back even if he had to tie her up.
It was not the first time he went against her own will—why not do it again? He did not care if she had more reason to hate him again.
Hence, despite his hesitation, he mustered his courage and turned the car around, ready to take Quinn back even though he never gave in to anyone.
And since that was no option, she just had to call for help.
But whomever she would ask, it would never be him.
Moreover, Sam was always a step behind whenever Ryan was concerned.
It was as if he was destined to never catch up ever since they were born, be it in grades, competence, or love.
Sam laughed when he remembered a certain day as gloomy as today.
He had watched Quinn leave Ryan's room, her clothes disheveled.
And on that very same day, he lost his virginity at twenty years old.
