The man, dazed from the beating, looked up to see Quincy's furious face. Instantly, he cowered, forcing a smile. "I get it, I get it. She's all yours. I'll leave right now, I promise not to bother you two. Take your time, big guy." Quincy grabbed him by the collar and firmly warned him again. "A woman is a person, not something you can just hand over. You don't have the right to talk like that."

The only reason Quincy had intervened was to stop an innocent woman from being harassed, not to claim her for himself. Apart from Lydia, he didn't want anyone.
