Pia watched as Zoey and Freya talked animatedly on the sofa beside her. Billie stood on the patio, pacing back and forth while talking on the phone. Meg, Sabrina, and Micah were sitting at a dining table, playing an animated game of cards that had something to do with drinking.

Domino sat on the chair nearest her, her elbows on her knees as she watched Zoey and Freya talk. She looked curious, almost confused at the pair.

"Isn't it funny how you can spend so much time around someone and you still don't know a major part of their life?" Domino said quietly.

Pia tilted her head, glancing from Domino to Zoey and back, not answering immediately. She nervously fidgeted with her hands. Was Domino referencing the fact that Zoey had slept with Pia?

"And then what was she doing in an entirely different city last night? How did she get there? How did she have the time? She won't even tell me," Domino continued.

Pia's stomach flipped — and not in a good way — as she tried to maintain an air of casualness as Domino continued to stare at Zoey.

Billie walked back into the room, sliding her phone into her back pocket. She sat on the arm of Domino's chair.

"You okay?" Billie asked, putting a hand on Domino's shoulder.

"Yeah, just... feeling like an asshole," Domino said.

"What'd you do now?" Billie asked with a smirk.

"She didn't know Zoey collected art," Pia said quickly, giving Billie a Who Knows? look.

Zoey turned at the sound of her name, giving Pia the briefest of eyebrow quirks before turning to Domino.

"Art? You're worried about Zoey's hobbies?" Billie asked, running her hand over Domino's short hair as if she were petting a dog.

"No, I just mean, I've been so self-centered that I didn't even know Zoey cared about art. Meg, what are you hiding?" Domino called out.

"I'm secretly a spy for the Canadian government," Meg said with a straight face, not glancing up from her cards.

"Yeah, that checks out," Domino said, leaning back in her chair.

"Baby, what are you going on about?" Sabrina asked, turning in her chair.

"Some party this is," Domino said, turning to Pia. "I'm so glad you showed up tonight, though. How'd you find out about the show?"

Pia's mouth went dry and she glanced over to Zoey.

Directly behind Zoey, Micah raised her hand. "I invited her," she said.

Zoey's eyes widened and she turned, looking at Micah over her shoulder. "You did?" She asked.

"Yeah, or, well, I guess I invited you through your assistant," Micah said, smiling.

Pia nodded. "Yep, I was in town and Mark reminded me it was happening. Thought I'd stop by to check it out," she said.

She made a mental note to ask Mark about all of the other invitations that hadn't been passed her way.

"Oh, cool," Domino said.

Freya cleared her throat. "I think it's just about my bedtime, though." She turned back to Zoey, taking her hands. "Let's do lunch the next time you're in LA and then I'll give you a tour of the studio.
