The only plausible reaction is to ask Quinn to come stay with him. She's hesitant, but agrees. They soon learn it's harder to live in such close quarters with feelings they can't quite ignore. Not when Collin's grandmother seems determined to push them together. Or Quinn's precocious daughter seems to be winning Collin's heart.
