Natalie Vaughn didn't know when Zane Thorne would set off; Zane hadn't mentioned anything, and Natalie hadn't asked. Their relationship hadn't reached the level where they'd share itineraries.
As for why Zane mentioned it casually...
Natalie thought it was probably because he didn't want to be mistaken as fleeing the scene at the last moment.
Phoebe Quinn always worked quickly, and within a few days, she had successfully arranged to meet with Damian Quinn. However, when they arrived at the appointed café, they found themselves a bit embarrassed by the scene.
Damian was on a blind date.
Phoebe, her face flushed, led Natalie to another table as they waited for Damian's date to conclude.
Natalie found the situation amusing.
"You didn't know your brother was on a blind date?"
Phoebe rolled her eyes.
"The company has been so busy lately, how would I know about this?"
