“When Caitlyn is with Tyler all of her problems seem to disappear. But as things get serious, she discovers Tyler's jealous side. Once she realizes her "perfect" boyfriend is as controlling as he is caring, Caitlyn is faced with a choice: she can either let this relationship define her, or find the courage to break away” (Goodreads)
It’s probably best to be straight up and ask. But if you don’t want to do that, you could just mention her up in passing. Such as “Hey did you see what Anna posted?” (let’s say Anna) or maybe some thing like “hey I literally thought I saw Anna at Walmart” and then when this person is somehow brought up, you could be like “speaking of which, I didn’t see her at the party? Everything okay?”
