["Maybe a hint at the new guy ... " She pauses, scrutinizing Mia's face briefly "... Girl?"

Mia raises an imperious eyebrow.

"Person, Zoe ultimately settles on. "That you are currently spending your time with. Because Quentin is very good at keeping secrets but not at keeping that he has a secret."

Mia rolls her eyes.]


You know him. He's a nice guy. Can we settle for that for right now?

[That only proves to make Zoe more confused. "I ... don't know. That's both better and worse all at once."]

Who are you dating?

( The girl who recently said secrets are fine is suddenly very interested. )

Do I know him? He's not here at this wedding, right?

No, he's not here because I'm her plus one.

[Which is just making Zoe even more confused. But to Hope, Mia sighs: "No, you don't know him. He hasn't been out here."

Meanwhile, Zoe's wheels are spinning:]


You brought me instead of this person because for some reason you don't want it public yet? That's not usually you.

["It's a little weird, okay? I didn't want to have to answer a ton of questions about it."]

Not Q. You didn't get back together with JJ, did you?

[Mia's eyes widen and she shakes her head. "God, no."]

And it's someone I know, so ...

[Then, it clicks.]

Connor?!
