It was really strange of Tarik to push the issue of a conversation with Minty about finding a third partner, especially given Hazel’s reaction when he admitted he’d been in contact with Minty when COVID hit.
Even before that, Hazel was outspoken about not liking Minty, so it wouldn’t make much sense for Tarik to think Hazel would somehow want Minty back in their lives.
Obviously, Minty is still more than just a fan of Tarik, though it’s hard to say if she’s not being driven to continue harping on it for some reason.
