Immediately knowing. He had sneaked out, being careful to make no noise with the latch. She knew what that meant. She had him on a strict diet, and a locater application. She got on her phone and looked at it. Immediately knowing. As she suspected he was at the Donut Deli down the road No doubt eating the things he was never supposed to eat. He had had so many affairs with sweet, fried things. She got on her coat, determined to stop him. Immediately knowing.
