Quinn didn't reject the drink nor the company. His intentions for where he stood now weren't solely to send Kyle home. He needed a distraction, and fortunately, one walked right up to him.
It wasn't a good idea to entertain a woman he thought looked like Eloise, and if Damien found out, he would be upset, but this was better than dwelling on a relationship stuck in the past.
Quinn needed this interaction to get over his troubles, and then life in the estate would be better.
Teressa returned with a cup filled to the brim with rum. "This one is my treat. I might be mistaken, but you look sad."
Quinn accepted the drink and brought the glass to his lips to have a sip. "I am not sad," he replied.
"You are not? Then, do you want me to believe this is how you always look? I am willing to put a smile on your face. None of the gentlemen present has captured my attention as you have. I have never been so close to a Hawthorne," Teressa said, revealing she knew who stood before her.
