Haha yes! Starting at the start would make the most sense! How long after the The Incident did Leila come to NY?
And how about unanswered texts leading to a doorstep visit? Like Leila doesn't text back and just shows up OR Leila doesn't text back and Brand shows up to see if she's okay? This is me assuming that Leila would be more unlikely to put off texting back but if that doesn't make sense it could just be unannounced doorstep visiting altogether! I like the idea of them sitting on a stoop and chatting or something.
Very true about Wes! Maybe they could all get together for drinks or maybe some weird random distracting activity.
