Ileanna is looking up at him like he hung the moon, but he’s not looking at her.’ ‘Very good,’ Berman praised. ‘Who is he looking at?’ She traced his line of sight and a piece of puzzle settled. ‘He’s looking at Sara, the girl he’d just broken up with.’ Lucy tilted her head, looking at her brother with the eyes of an adult. ‘That’s an effyou look.
