Chandler and Toby worked within the same area, so Zara met them after they were finished to get dinner together. They hadn't done this before, but Zara wanted to make an effort: for one, she was serious about Chandler; and two, she had family, so it was important that they got on.
And there was no concern as the two did get on to the point that Zara felt like she was third-wheeling.
When they left to walk home, Zara had her hand entwined with Chandler as Toby walked with them.
"Oh... my... God!"
Hearing that voice, Zara's eyes shot so wide. Next to her, she felt Chandler tense up, having the same reaction as Zara was. His grip on her hand tightened as Zara squeezed back in silent support.
"There's no way," Zara said so quietly.
"I'm scared to turn around to see," Chandler confessed.
"Who is it?" Toby asked.
If Toby heard it, then it must be true. Zara turned as her eyes instantly fell on Janice, who hadn't changed in the time it had been since they had last seen her. Now, she was staring at them with shock, but it lacked the horror that Zara and Chandler were both feeling.
"I don't believe it!" Janice continued. "The two of you are back together?"
That caused that familiar chaotic laughter from Janice.
"Yeah," said Chandler. "We're back together."
"I'm shocked," Janice said. "Shocked, I tell you!"
"So are we," Zara replied, meaning about seeing Janice.
"Shocked because I thought you and Joey had unfinished business," Janice confessed which caused the two to flinch that made things worse with Janice. "Oh my God. I was right, wasn't I? You broke poor Joey's heart, didn't you, Zara?"
"Janice, I'm with Chandler now," Zara told her.
"Chandler now, but who's next?" Janice questioned as Zara sighed, wanting to flee, but Janice was now pointing at Toby. "You better watch yourself."
"I'm Zara's brother," Toby said. "Toby."
"Brother?" Janice repeated, stunned again for a moment, and then she became flustered, inching closer to her brother. "You kept a handsome brother from me, Zara Ellison?"
"Toby has a girlfriend," Zara blurted out.
"That's a shame," said Janice. "Imagine that, though? Me and your brother, then the two of you. It's like it's all meant to be."
"God Toby," said Chandler. "Why'd you have to have a girlfriend?"
"Maybe next time," Janice smiled. "If you two are back together, then maybe you'll finally want to know what happened that night—"
