That was when Zoe saw Quinn, leaning against her car door while looking at her with glee.
'"'When did you come back?" Zoe huffed, trying to make herself look angry.
"When you were pressing yourself against that geezer for a photo," Quinn replied.
"He's just a fan,’ Zoe snorted, but clearly proud.
Let her have this moment—it had been years since she felt like this.
Quinn simply smiled and returned inside her car with Zoe.
They headed to an expensive restaurant, running into Bob at the entrance.
Cora was not with him, for once.
Bob was surprised to see them. "You two are eating here as well?"
"Yeah.” Zoe nodded.

explained, and eagerly invited them. "Care to join us? This is too good a coincidence to pass up."
Zoe presumed that Quinn would say no, so she kept quiet.
After all, she couldn't reject Bob well; their short stint of a relationship left her somehow dwarfed around
him these days.
Truly, one must never do anything that would hurt their own conscience, or they would never be able to
rest easy for the rest of their lives.
However...
"Sure,” Quinn agreed.
Zoe stared at her in complete disbelief.
Quin used to loath dinners like these, and would especially give it a wide berth if Sam was there.
What on earth happened between them in these three years? Sam was in prison the whole time,
wasn't he?
Quinn wouldn't have a chance to mend their relationship, even if she wanted to!
"Alright, let's go," Bob said eagerly, and Zoe had no choice but to follow him to a private room.
Both Jay and Sam were already there, and having a chat-friends who had been apart for a while would
always have much to talk about.
Noticing the door opening just then, Sam turned and snorted, "You're the one who arranged this dinner,
Bob. And yet, you're late..."
He trailed off, suddenly silent when he saw who came.
Jay naturally saw Quinn and Zoe as well, and smiled ever so subtly.
Bob simply strode in, saying, "I met them when I arrived, and invited them in since they were going to
be eating here too. You don't mind, do you?"
Sam stayed silent, while Jay said, "Not at all."

"Come, take a seat.’ Bob gestured at both women. 'Quinn, you should sit with Sam."
"Yeah," Quinn replied mildly, and actually sat beside Sam.
Sam had been sitting sideways, but now, he seemed to straighten himself in his chair.
Quinn, too, appeared a little too prim beside him.
The five of them just happened to fit the small table, with Jay sitting between Sam and Bob.
Bob had Zoe sit beside him, and he couldn't resist teasing, 'You two don't look married. Heck, Zoe and I
look more married than you two."
That made Zoe a little embarrassed.
Before, she would laugh along if Bob joked like. But now...
Damn this guilt!
Still, was he really fine with this?
Was he really joking so naturally because he felt nothing at this point? She turned just then, and
inadvertently met Jay's gaze.
