In the coastal abode...
"Attention, everyone. Logan's impatience and suspicion are escalating. He's on the verge of uncovering our surprise party plans due to his keen intellect. We must expedite our efforts before he unravels our scheme. It's becoming absurd that we continue to test his trust. As his loyal friends and family, we owe it to him to make this celebration a success," Katie declares.
"My, my, little sis stepping up to the plate. I couldn't be prouder," Kendall praises, embracing Katie. "Your insights are spot on. We're nearing completion with the preparations."
"What's left to do?" Camille inquires.
"We need to lure Logan to the beach house. Despite his desire to visit, Katie's exceptional company has kept him occupied all day. He'll be taken aback by the magnitude of our efforts when he realizes what's in store for him," Kendall elaborates.
Logan returns to the beach and begins his search for clues, determined to uncover the secrets his friends are keeping from him. He carefully examines the area surrounding Ms. Knight's locked car, peering through the windows in hopes of finding something useful. Frustration sets in, and he starts to lose hope. However, the pain in his injured arm serves as a reminder to relax and not worsen the discomfort. Seeking solace, he settles down on the sandy shore beneath the shade of a palm tree, fixating his gaze on the tranquil waves gently caressing the shoreline. The peaceful breeze and the scent of sea salt bring him a sense of tranquility. Despite his desire to join his friends and discover what they are up to in the beach house, he finds solace in his own company. After half an hour, fatigue takes over, and he begins to doze off, only to be abruptly awakened by a text message on his phone. The message reads, "Emergency in the beach house! Come quickly!" Reacting swiftly, he jumps to his feet and rushes inside, only to find himself in complete darkness. "Hello! Where is everyone? Camille? Ms. Knight? Katie? Where are you?" he calls out anxiously. Suddenly, the lights flicker on, and a chorus of voices exclaim, "Surprise, Logan!"
Logan gazes at each person in the room, his expression a mix of confusion and surprise. "What is happening here? It is not my birthday," he remarks.
"We are aware of that, my friend. This unexpected gathering is not to celebrate your birthday, but it is still in your honor," Kendall explains.
Perplexed, Logan responds with a puzzled tone, "I don't quite comprehend."
