Quinn acted like he wasn't there, mounted the horse. Just as she was about to leave, he sneezed behind her. She paused and looked back at him.
She couldn't see much, just that he looked thin and seemed to be wearing only a shirt.
"You don't think that by wearing so little and acting all pitiful, I'll feel sorry for you, do you?" she mocked.

"How'd you know I was out?" Quinn asked.
"I didn't, but you always pass by here," Alexander replied.
"If I didn't show up, would you just keep waiting?" Quinn asked again.
"Yep," Alexander said stubbornly.
Quinn smirked. "You're really something else." "How'd you know I was sick? I think I have a fever," Alexander said, his voice a bit raspy, and he coughed again.
Quinn looked away from him, silent for a long time.
He had no money and no phone. Waiting here was pretty much a death wish.

Alexander stood there, watching her leave, her figure getting smaller Until it blended with the night. He sighed and plopped down on a rock by the roadside.
At this hour, the streets were dead.
The night wind was biting, and he was barely dressed, waiting in the cold.
Sean, Matthew, and Nathan were all in the hotel, peeking out the window, trying to see if Alexander was still there. Sean said, "Should we go check on him?" Matthew hesitated and said, "Didn't he say to leave him alone?" "So we're really gonna let him wait all night?" Nathan and Matthew both took a step back and said in unison, "You go." Sean rolled his eyes at them, grabbed a coat, and headed out.
