"Steph?"
"Mmmm?"
"I need your help."

"Ah. I see you must have seen that trained professional."

"Well, you're finally coming to your senses where she's concerned. You want me to keep her occupied while you get everything ready? Throw up a smokescreen so she doesn't wonder what you're up to? Distract her while you make preparations?"

"Steph?"
"Yeah?"
"You've been talking to Lorelai again, haven't you?"
She grinned, "Yeah."
"So can you...?"
"Leave it all to me? I've got it totally under control."
She'd been waiting for Logan to work up the nerve to propose. She also knew he wanted to go all out for Rory. She loved surprises. And Steph was very willing to help things along in whatever capacity she was able.
