Put together
Hi dear friends
I don't know the meaning of put together in this context. In addition, I don't find the relationship between the red part and the rest of the sentence. I would be very grateful if you help me.
"I've seen the kid in the yard, now that I think about it."
"Simon. He looks just like her. It's almost spooky."
"Now that you mention it, I would've put that together when I met her if I'd been able to take my eyes off you for two minutes."
Her lips twitched, and damn it, she was flattered.
Thank you in adcance

Mister Micawber'Now that you mention it' refers to the previous sentence: she mentions that 'he looks just like her'.but I don't know the function of this red part here, I mean what is its role in completing the concept of the whole sentence. Wouldn't the meaning be

I don't know what is the logical relationship between the two sentences that "Now that you mention it" wants to connect them. For example if we say the words like (therefore, so, because, ...) we mean a logical connection between two sentences by using these
