Once Morrison's soup was prepared, he delivered a bowl to Laura, cautioning, "Remember to enjoy it once it has cooled."

Laura acquiesced with a nod.

Donning his attire, he departed.

Laura refrained from inquiring about his destination.

In truth, there was no need for her to inquire.

She observed Morrison checking the flight status on his mobile phone.

It must have been Forrest's flight.

The airport was quite a distance away.

Upon Forrest's arrival at the airport, he should disembark the plane.

Laura cradled her baby calmly, her expression devoid of nervousness or unease.

She had faith that Morrison would convince Forrest to return.

Morrison arrived at the airport and waited for a long time.

At last, he received word of an imminent international flight landing, prompting him to rise and head towards the exit.

Forrest arrived empty-handed.

He returned alone.

He was not surprised to see Morrison.

Certainly, Camila would have notified Laura of his arrival.

Morrison offered graciously, "I‘m here to pick you up."

Forrest parted his lips, suggesting, "Shall we find a spot to talk?"

Morrison assented with a nod.
