Evangeline had been stealthily eavesdropping by the door, worried that Celina's reunion with David might stir up

"Celina, what happened here?"
Had Celina knocked David out in a sudden outburst? She had not heard any signs of a fight. If she had, she

"Maybe | should be the one to go."

back down by Evangeline.

around. I'll handle this
