Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

The speaker asks whom the other person is on the rebound from, assuming a new relationship follows a recent breakup. The phrasing is direct and probing, treating the involvement as a reaction to earlier heartbreak, and it invites the listener to name the former partner.
