After leaving the table, Jeremy headed straight for his room and got started on his homework; he wasn't sure if Dawn would hurry to him to find out what he knew, or if she'd put it off as long as possible so as not to hear it any sooner than necessary.
He got the answer when perhaps fifteen minutes later, he heard a soft knock on his door, and Dawn's hesitant "Jeremy?"
"Come on in, Dawn", he responded, before marking his place in his History book and closing it. As he was doing that, he heard the door open, and his sister come in; turning, he watched as she carefully made sure the door was latched, then resignedly came the rest of the way into his room and took a seat on the edge of his bed. She was able to give him only the briefest of glances before lowering her head and staring at the floor.
In a barely audible voice, he heard her ask "What was it you heard and saw last night that you want to talk to me about?"
"I think you already know, Dawn. I got up to go to the bathroom, but when I got down by the door, I heard a noise. I didn't know what it was, but when it happened again, I looked around and saw that your door wasn't closed all the way. After I heard the noise again, I was worried about you, and opened your door enough to see if you were okay."
On hearing that, Dawn blushed furiously as Jeremy continued "Do I have to tell you what I saw?"
Still blushing, Dawn quietly shook her head before he went on "Now, I'd never say anything directly to anyone about it, but there's always the chance that something I said accidentally might get people thinking and talking."
