The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne)
Chapter 1187

Faye couldn't help but laugh at Logan's touch of vanity, graciously accepting the flowers he offered. "Alright, I'll generously grant you a trial period then!"

Logan's face lit up as he pulled Faye into a warm embrace, feeling a rush of warmth enveloping him. "I feel like I've just hit the jackpot, Faye. I'll make sure to treat you right!"

However, Faye's moment of joy was short-lived as she pulled back slightly, curiosity in her eyes. "What exactly did you tell my mom earlier?"

"Just shared my plans for today and got her blessing before coming to clear things up with you... and finally muster up the courage to confess my feelings."

"Let's head back, I'll walk you home," Logan said, taking Faye's hand in his as they started back.

Doreen watched them leave, their faces beaming with happiness, and she knew they were a match made in heaven. She didn't press for details, content to let them enjoy their blossoming relationship, trusting they would share when ready.

At work, it was clear to everyone that something had changed between Logan and Faye. Their interactions were lighter, and there seemed to be a constant, subtle blush to their exchanges.

"Are they... you know?" one of the guys mused, his arms crossed as he watched them from across the room.

"Why so curious?" another teased.

"I'm shipping them hard! No one hates being the third wheel more than me. I'm not about dumpster diving for drama!"

"But it does look like they're together. They're practically inseparable now. I'd bet my lunch on it."

"I'd say you've got yourself a meal then. They're definitely an item."

Gemma looked up, catching Logan's affectionate gaze on Faye. "Well, if that's not love, I don't know what is."

Later, when Faye was swamped with work, she asked Gemma to deliver some documents on her behalf. Gemma, not thinking much of it, agreed.

Upon entering Logan's office, the first thing Gemma noticed was a photograph on the desk. It featured Faye and Logan, both looking radiant and youthful - the very image of a couple in love.

When the topic eventually came up, Logan and Faye openly acknowledged their relationship.

A week later, they were on their way back to Rivenwood. As soon as they landed, Logan dropped Faye off at Anna's, where a group of girls were discussing the perfect snapshots for Anna's upcoming wedding, fantasizing about their own dream weddings. Logan, looking at Faye's profile, was already planning how to make her dream wedding a reality, taking inspiration from their visit.

Faye playfully protested, "Who said anything about marrying you?"

"Have fun, and let me know when you're ready to be picked up," Logan said, opening the car door for her.

As they arrived, Anna was the first to greet them, sensing the good news. "Looks like you've got some good news too, huh?"

Faye, a bit embarrassed, nodded. "Yeah, I haven't had the chance to tell you guys yet."

Charlotte Redwood, upon hearing this, was ecstatic and immediately tried to loop her arm through Faye's, who subtly avoided the gesture.

"You're unbelievable, hiding such big news from us!" Charlotte exclaimed, only half-jokingly.

"I was actually planning to tell you all this time, especially with Anna's wedding coming up," Faye said, handing Anna a beautifully crafted hand fan as a wedding gift. Anna, touched by the gesture, noticed Faye's reluctance to discuss her hand injury further, choosing instead to focus on the excitement of wedding dress shopping.

At the bridal boutique, they were in awe of Vivienne's handcrafted wedding dresses, with Charlotte expressing a desire for Vivienne to design her wedding dress when the time came.

"You shouldn't talk like that. They're getting married; there's no question of worthiness," Faye replied, looking forward to Anna's reveal from the dressing room.

When Anna appeared in her wedding dress, everyone was stunned by her transformation. The moment was so perfect that they forgot about time until Soren arrived to pick them up.

As they left, Charlotte remarked on the luxury of having a driver, to which Faye jokingly teased her about not using her own driver.

"You just don't get it. Having a driver and being picked up like this are two totally different things," Charlotte sighed, just as another familiar car pulled up.

As Logan stepped out to greet them,

Faye realized why Charlotte had

been so astonished. In a moment that seemed to tie everything together, Faye understood the joy of being part of such a close-knit circle, where love and support were always just a ride away.

"Seriously, you guys with drivers really have it made!" Charlotte clutched at her heart dramatically, her voice laced with a mix of jest and envy.

"How about we give you a lift on our way back?" Faye offered, reaching out to loop her arm through Charlotte's, but Charlotte stepped back with a quick, playful hop.

"No, thanks. You two head on back.

Still early enough to grab dinner or hit a movie, I've got my own ride, wouldn't dream of third-wheeling such a lovely couple," Charlotte quipped, pulling out her phone to text her family's chauffeur

Seeing Charlotte had made up her mind, Faye didn't push further. "Just shoot us a text when you get home, okay?"

"Will do. Now off you go!" Charlotte waved them off with a flourish.

Anna spent almost the entire night awake, her mind a whirlwind of excitement and nerves. Vivienne's family had flown back just in time for her wedding, and by the time they met in the early hours, the kids were already sound asleep. Vivienne gently pushed open the door to replace Anna sitting in front of the vanity, a momentary look of awe flashing across her face. "Nervous?" she asked softly.

Shaking her head, Anna replied, "Not exactly nervous. It just feels surreal."

"How so?"

"I can't believe I'm actually getting married. It feels like a dream."

As they chatted, Juliette stirred in her sleep, waking up with a start. She blinked at Anna for a few seconds before lunging into her arms. "You smell amazing," she murmured, her voice muffled against Anna's shoulder.

The exchange, filled with the warmth

and comfort of close friends and

family coming together for a momentous occasion, captured the essence of the love and support that surrounds such life-changing

events. The dialogue, peppere1.13

casual and heartfelt expressions, réflects the blend of excitement and disbelief that often accompanies the lead-up to a wedding, grounding the experience in a relatable and vividly human context.
