I am trying to write an ambiguous/evasive sentence. The sentence is:

> [PERSON A]，もしかして，あの人は一緒に，というのは，[PERSON B]ー

To the effect of "Person A, is it possible, that you and _that person_ , that
is to say, Person B-"

Am I using this correctly or is there another, more suitable word to use? I
want to keep the comedic disjunction of the sentence without sacrificing the
meaning.

grammar usage
Using というのは in [PERSON A]，もしかして，あの人は一緒に，というのは，[PERSON B]
Personally, I think the first part is enough if you want to create some
ambiguity. So you can say :

  * [PERSON A]、 もしかして、 [PERSON B]と一緒に...

This sentence is enough to be evasive. Also, you can replace もしかして by まさか if
you want the sentence to have a stronger suggestion of the meaning (I feel
like, in this case, まさか is better).
