Steph doesn't turn back to face Cissie until she apologizes a second time. It's not like it's that big a deal, getting all weird about Steph being dead. She's hardly the first.

But then her eyebrows rise. Cissie knows things? It doesn't occur to her what exactly Cissie might know until Tim's name is mentioned. Him being fifteen isn't important, he is fifteen. Something else makes her frown.

"Wait a second. Did he tell you? Because that would be so like him." She will withhold her rage until she gets an answer. Mostly.
