Blind Date Turned Proposal (Josie and Dexter)

Following the sound of the door shutting gently behind her, Josie made her way out of the seclusion of the small room.

As she had anticipated, Mark was still vigilant, his eyes, aged yet observant, locked onto her. A wave of guilt washed over Josie, prompting her to unconsciously massage the back of her neck as she questioned, "What's with that look?"

"Had an argument?"

His understanding was clear without further explanation.

With a sense of resignation, Josie pulled up a chair and took a seat, admitting, "You could say that."

Mark's gaze carried a silent warning as he broached a sensitive topic, "He sought me out to discuss the matter of the child."

"What did he say?"

"What do you think?"

At a loss, Josie was aware that Dexter held her opinions in high regard, yet she hadn't anticipated he would take the initiative to consult Mark directly.

"I asked him three crucial questions, do you want to know?"

"Just go ahead," she encouraged, her curiosity piqued.
