He was just gone.
Not that Sinead had ever really thought that much of Evan. He was Amy's boyfriend, but a non-Cahill and non-Vesper, so not of much interest.
Of course, after hearing Amy ramble on and on about him, it was hard not to see the appeal in him. Not that Sinead ever cared.
Off limits.
First Amy's boyfriend.
Now dead.
It didn't matter that he had always unfailingly been friendly to her, even at her nastiest, even when she was a traitor looking for reacceptance. Always had smiled at her.
But he had been devoted to the Cahills, to Amy, until the very last, and she was devoted to her brothers. So long as they were safe, it didn't matter that he was never going to grow up, go to college, laugh with his family, geek out over new technology with his sister...
Never going to smile at her again.
No, Sinead had never cared at all.
