hinting that Logan had his work cut out for him.

Time for a heart-to-heart, buddy," Doreen recalled how distracted Faye had been on their recent trip, Logan, caught off guard, replied, "I know. I'll sort it out as soon as possible."

"Good." Doreen mentally applauded her future son-in-law. Faye could do far worse than ending up with him.

They returned to their booth, where Faye was still in the same pose, lost in thought. Hearing them, she looked up.

"Let's take a walk after we eat, Faye," Doreen suggested, leading the way.

The trio strolled along the riverside, but soon Doreen claimed she had urgent business to attend to.

"I've got this urgent project thing, gotta run!" she fumbled in her purse for something.

Faye was puzzled about what urgent matter Doreen had to attend to all of a sudden.

"Sure thing," Logan knew Doreen was creating an opportunity for him, though he was initially taken aback by her method.

"Should we keep walking, or do you wanna head back?" Logan asked Faye.

After a moment's thought, Faye pointed ahead, "Let's walk a bit more."

As they walked, the awkward silence had Faye scrambling for a conversation starter.

Then she remembered something from their group chat that Logan hadn't responded to, "Did you hear about Anna's wedding? We should probably head back together for it." Logan, pulling out his phone to book tickets, agreed without hesitation.

Seeing Logan's straightforward attitude, Faye didn't object to booking their flights together.
