Zack didn't respond immediately. His eyes stayed locked on Nia as if he couldn't quite believe she was standing in front of him. Right here in front of him in flesh and not a figment of his imagination. The same dress, the same glare those same wild exotic long curly hair. Finally, he blinked, his expression hardening as realization dawned upon him and just slightly as he turned to Jess. "I could ask you the same thing."
Before Jess could answer, Justin, entered the room, still oblivious to the palpable tension, clapped Zack on the back. "Zack, meet the ladies I met. I went to order our drink but found these amazing ladies and requested them to join us. This is—Jess, and… well, this is- ah I did not catch her name earlier as that bartender was laying it thick."
