Retrezvous

(1) A meeting with someone in your past, at a location significant to you both; or (2) A secret meeting with an ex, pretty much for horizontal recreation

This word also has the added benefit of a strong linguistic alignment with 'deja vu' (hey, I've been here before...)

"Hi Claire, I know it's been a while, but I have to see you again. Please? I won't tell Amy if you don't tell Brad - can we have a little retrezvous at that hotel we used to go to in the city?"

"After what she did to me, I think about her zero-7, to be honest."
