Even though Logan wanted to return Marie's feelings, he knew he had to let her go for now. There were others he needed to speak with—Lisa, in particular—before making any final decisions about how he would treat the other girls.
Marie had left after a lighthearted conversation about her days in the kingdom and how much she enjoyed working with Kryst. With so much to do before his next departure, Logan waited for Lisa and Alma, who he knew would return soon after their work in the town.
Lisa had gone with Alma, the singer, to catch up with her best friend after being apart for so long. They needed the time together, while Logan focused on finishing his official duties.
