So, Ellie's brother - his name's Zachary, it turns out - got into the summer program he was looking at, which means he'll be coming up here quite a lot this summer. To his older sister's chagrin, he's also been looking around for that mysterious woman she rescued him from a couple months ago, despite her warnings. He couldn't recall Miranda's name, so he just asked around for "that really confident, slender, dark haired girl who's always brushing her hair." He was directed to someone who met that general description, and it wasn't who he was looking for.
His new acquaintance has almost seven years on him, which made it an awkward first meeting, but she surprised him by happily engaging in conversation and then bringing him to meet up with her wife in the nearby park.
Funny coincidence, Brianna's been telling Genie that she's trying to think of something really fun to get her for their upcoming first anniversary celebration.
