Unfortunately, the words she spoke were unheard by Damian Sinclair.
Bella Acker bit her lower lip tightly; Joyland had already begun closing in the early morning hours, and silence enveloped everywhere.
Suddenly, footsteps approached, and Bella abruptly looked up, "Dami..."
The urgent call caught in her throat once she realized who it was.
Archer Quinn walked up and sat beside her, softly asking, "Waiting for Damian Sinclair?"
"Yes." Bella Acker replied quietly, hanging her head, "Senior Quinn, how did you know I was here?"
"I asked Judy Zimmerman, then asked..." Archer Quinn did not say who else he had asked, "How long will you wait?"
"Until I have to leave." Bella wasn't in the mood to question him further on how he found her.
"I'll wait with you." Archer Quinn took off his coat, draped it over her, and truly sat with her without speaking further.
"Senior Quinn, I'm not cold; keep your coat on," Bella Acker tried to return the coat to him.
