Seeing how Abby always seemed to defend Evan, Spencer chose not to say anything further.

As they ate, the three of them chatted. Well, it was mostly Spencer and Abby talking, while Evan could barely get a word in. Occasionally, Abby would direct a comment his way, but her focus stayed on Spencer. Suddenly, Abby's phone rang.
