While Kelly talked to the girls, Dale waited for her in the basement, playing pool.

He was worried -- What if it wasn't a girl thing? What if there was still trouble over the dorm? Maybe Riley didn't want to move to the apartment that her father had gotten for her through Terence. Maybe Sarah was trying to convince her to leave and Riley refused. Could that be it? Would they stay with them forever? He hoped not.

 At last Kelly came in and went to him, he was burning with anxiety.

Dale: Well, what did they tell you?

Kelly: Nothing, they played hard to get saying it was a 'personal matter'. Then Riley tried to tell me something but Sarah told her to wait. In the end they said they would only talk to you, which is fine with me. Frankly, their affairs are of no interest to me.
