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.
"Oh! Jay, Sam, and I are having dinner here too. We never did meet up after Sam got out," Bob 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!
