Edie was perusing the latest correspondence from her fork. She still should have been paying enough attention to realize that the door didn't go where it ought before it swung shut and she couldn't sense anyone else anymore, but she wasn't.

Okay, good. It was him being concerned that I was taking advantage of you that I was worried about.
