That boulevard was the prettiest sightseeing spot in Riverton. It ended right at Marcus Hartley's mansion.
Cornelia wasn't feeling up for anything remotely related to Marcus right now. "Forget it, let's just cruise around."
Zack drove Cornelia around the city aimlessly. She barely said a word during the whole hour. Finally, Zack couldn't help but ask, "Cornelia, what's going on between you and Marcus?"
"It's nothing serious, just a minor disagreement between a couple. A little quarrel and fussing are quite common," Cornelia regretted letting Zack pick her up today. After all, airing their dirty laundry wasn't exactly ideal.
Zack commented, "Marriage sounds like such a hassle!"
Cornelia asked, "What are you on about?"
Zack replied, "I'm just saying, marriage seems like a drag. Being single is much more chill."
Cornelia asked, "So, you've given up on the idea of getting married?"
Zack replied, "I don't see it happening any time soon. I've always thought it's something you can't force. Let it be."
Cornelia commented, "Your folks are definitely going to set you up with someone when you go home for Christmas."
Zack agreed, "No doubt about that. You know how many blind dates I've been to in a single day when I'm back home?"
Cornelia guessed, "Three?"
Zack corrected, "Six! I barely finish one when they're rushing me to the next. I met six girls in a span of one day. I couldn't remember a single face when I got home."
