Sam ignored Bob's teasing and hung up before turning to Quinn. "Bob will make the arrangements.""You're really close to him," Quinn said earnestly."Not just him. With John and Jay too," he replied.He would not mention his friends before to her and always kept her out of the loop when it came to himself."There's something I don't understand…" Quinn said hesitantly just then."What is it?""Don't get upset with me.""Just say it.""Why are you able to get along with everyone other than Ryan?" Quinn asked, still worried that Sam would get upset.It was a sensitive question, and Sam's temper had always been horrible… But she was really curious, especially since they were brothers.A look of irritation appeared on Sam's face in turn—was it not obvious? Was there any man who could play nice with another man clearly coveting his wife, even if he was his brother?Moreover, get along with Ryan when Ryan had belittled him his whole life?"Are you that eager to have me get along w

Meanwhile, Zoe continued reminiscing. "Sam was really tall, even during high school—standing half a head taller than the rest, he stood out even in the basketball team. Anyway, he charged into our classroom with that terrible look on his face and came up to me."Even the teacher was spooked, let alone my classmates. Heck, my heart skipped a beat, and I was so worried I'd upset him and he wanted me dead…" Zoe shuddered even as she remembered it. "Anyway, Sam threw me a pack of pads as everyone watched.."While Quinn had a hard time imagining the scene, it was still a fresh memory in Zoe's mind. "He was scowling at me even as he told me to bring it to you… and with that, he's gone, not caring that everyone was staring at him. It was like he was immune to embarrassment… Like it only happened to anyone but him.""You had no idea how awkward it was, Quinn—I could vanish right then," Zoe sighed, overwhelmed even as she remembered. "I had to pick up that pack while everyone watched and t

Zoe, Jay, and Quinn were left gaping at the pair… Honestly, whose birthday was it again? Why were they being more jolly than the rest, getting drunk themselves?As the trio traded glances, Quinn said, "I'll get Sam home. As for Bob…""He can sleep here," Jay said. "He can leave after he gets sober.""Is that alright?" Quinn glanced between him and Zoe.Does Jay really not take exception to Bob's presence, what with Bob and Zoe being an item before?"Yeah, it's fine," Jay said bluntly. "I'm that confident in myself."Quinn could not help smiling in turn—even Jay could give himself credit at times.As such, she shrugged and said, "I'm taking Sam home then.""Are you fine on your own?" "Yeah," Quinn replied. "The car's right downstairs.""Yeah. Drive safe.""Okay."Nonetheless, it was still taxing from Quinn to carry Sam, who was so heavy she could collapse from his weight."Are you alright?" Zoe asked worriedly."Yeah," Quinn replied through clenched teeth—she did not

Zoe told him just then, "Get some rest, Bob.""Yeah."With that, she got up and left, though she turned around at the door to glance at him.He was flat on his back, his eyes covered under his hand.But the tears flowing from underneath were visible anyway.If only…No. No ifs—Bob would meet the one he was destined for in life.With that, Zoe left.She had actually noticed Jay listening to their conversation from outside the door for a while.However, he never came in—it was his gesture of respect."You should talk to him," Zoe told him."Yeah." Jay nodded, while she earnestly felt that it was worth being alive just then.-Meanwhile, Quinn had considerable difficulty helping Sam to the car and driving him home.She drove as slowly as possible—she was that bad at driving and was concerned Sam would get sick if the journey was too bumpy.The car was basically a snail crawling on the road, and there was no telling how long it took for her to finally reach the parking lot.

Quinn was left staring at Sam, finding him acting strange just then—was he still drunk?After all, he was only docile when he was drunk.She entered the room, leaving him taken aback as she promptly pulled off his blanket. "You need to eat even if you're still drunk—you'd at least feel better than having an empty stomach. I could help you wash up if you're feeling nauseated too…"She suddenly trailed off as she stared at him fixedly. He frowned, followed her stare downward, and blushed. He promptly pulled up his blanket to hide himself.At the same time, Quinn realized with a start and flushed a crimson, surprised by what she had seen. She quickly turned her back on Sam—she did not mean to look.Still, Sam was a little frustrated to see her avoiding staring so quickly and snapped, "It's normal for men in the morning!""Yeah…" Quinn replied—was it something she said?"It's proof that I'm healthy.""I know.""It's not a reaction to you."Quinn pursed her lips in silence—she
