[Evelyn knows the feeling intimately, had put notches into the corner of her desk without realising what she was doing until the damage was already done, had glanced across the way at the place where Mark used to sit and felt herself wishing he was here.
Hoping that he might know what to say, now that she has well and truly taken his place.
She has cleaned herself up now, having spent much of the previous day sitting on the sofa in Dean's room, curled around herself. Wearing warm, normal clothes like a warm, normal person when she feels anything but, a chill sinking into her marrow with which Philip is probably familiar. She knocks on his door not fifteen minutes after his response, tidy, for all intents and purposes looking like someone who came from a formal afternoon tea, rather than an inelegant a prolonged session of "get the Hell out of bed, for God's sake."
There is no hiding the fact that she wanted to go to him first, remembering how long it had taken for Philip to tell her that he had died. Too long. Evelyn does not intend to make the same mistake.]
