[ Sarah looks solemnly at Evie, then frowns. ]
Dad, she's...she's looking at me weird. Can you...can you ask her to leave?
What? [ He glances back again, frowning at the look on Evie's face and shooting her a glare, knock it off, what the hell's wrong with you, then turns back to Sarah. ] No, no, she's just...surprised to see you here, that's all.
