Lydia continued to reassure her parents, "I'm really fine. Quincy showed up just in tand saved me. Plus, | had
pepper spray in my bag, and it worked like a charm. One spray and he was down."
Eugene was still unconscious.
"How's Quincy doing now?" Mr. Fay asked, wanting to go in and see him.
Lydia led them into the hospital room where Quincy was having his wounds treated. When he saw them enter, he
quickly stood to greet them.
"Sit down and let them finish tending to your injuries," Mr. Fay said, feeling a mix of emotions.
He had never been pleased with Quincy as a son-in-law. Especially during the divorce proceedings, he had

Mrs. Fay felt the sway. She approached Quincy, examining his wounds closely, then told the doctor, "Use the
best treatment to avoid any scarring." The doctor nodded.
She wanted to say a few words to Quincy but wasn't sure how to start. They had never spoken much directly. In
the end, it was Lydia who broke the awkward silence. "Mom, Dad, you should head home. I'll stay with him while
they finish up, and then we might need to stop by the police station."
"Alright, you stay with him, then," Mr. Fay replied, turning to leave.
Lydia saw them to the door. Before they left, Mr. Fay spoke to her privately. "If you're thinking of being with him
again, we won't stand in your way."
"We'll talk about it later. | haven't made up my mind yet," Lydia replied. "Dad, what's with you today? You were
so adamant about us getting divorced before."
Mr. Fay sighed. "Well, he's a

"As long as you're here, I'm fine," he said, savoring every moment with her.

"So, you were faking it," Lydia said with a smirk. "Aren't you worried I'll get mad?"
Quincy thought for a moment. "If you get mad, you can hitor yell at me. Just don't ignore me."
"You're pretty demanding, you know," Lydia replied, but she couldn't muster any anger. If anything, she felt more
protective of him than ever.
With just the two of them in the
room, it was impossible to stay silent. They began with light
conversation, but soon enough, they were chatting openly, sharing things they had been holding back for ages.

They talked until they got word that Eugene had regained consciousness and was taken to the police station.
Lydia stood up. "Looks like it's our turn to head to the station."
