Her whole line is just amazing. The connection between them, the chemistry, sometimes it seemed to me that Zoe was kissing the MC with her eyes.
Her sense of humor and social skills are the bomb, no wonder DIK's liked her. And she put Derek at ease with just a few words, and we know how difficult it can be to deal with him when he turns on a drama queen.
The bench scene, of course I was surprised that my Massive DIK MC was crying, but this scene makes it clear how important Zoey is in his life. Now all questions about this are closed and the Interlude looks very succinctly and appropriately in the overall storyline.
I'm somewhat not disappointed that I made a separate save for the blue-haired hottie.
