What did he want to talk to you about
“I…Iwantedtoask aboutyourface.Gilbertsaidheknewwhathappened.HetoldmeifImetwithhim,he’dtellme.”

“Ofcourse!Whatelsedidyouthink?Thatguy’satotalcreep!Hesuddenlycut apieceofsteakandtriedtofeedittome,sayinghe’donlytellmeifIateit.Ididn’t,obviously!”.
Seeing how much she disliked Gilbert made Shaun feel better So that was what it was

Shaun looked at her closely You really don t know what happened to my face
