Soon after

Hello.

We started hanging out again soon after, and everything fell into place.

Is the "after" necessary?

It's probably a reference to the time period mentioned earlier in the text, and in that case it's necessary.

We were introduced at a company meeting. We found that we had a lot of interests in common. We started hanging out again soon after (those events), and everything fell into place.
