She doesn't.

"Thank you for having me." He whispers as he steps forward.

She remains, arms folded, most of her face obscured by her hair, looking down.

A nod.

He walks down the steps, pauses at the foot of the stairs and puts his hand on his chest..bows.... and walks down the driveway.

If she sees all that, even peripherally, she doesn't acknowledge it.

And as he gets to the gate at the end of the drive, she turns and goes inside, the door slamming behind her.

She's halfway to her room when her phone buzzes...she checks it, blinks with surprise, reads... then sighs and looks skyward. She then rubs her eyes a moment before texting back.

She then goes to her room, slams the door...and proceeds to have a proper Fiona tantrum.

Meanwhile the Liam boy is gone....
