Benjamin simply watched her theatrics with calm eyes and that provoked her further. He looked at her like he was certain she couldn't harm him and with everything in her, Annalise wanted to.

Benjamin was her father who was currently seated watching her like she was play-acting and he was still deciding if he was going to enjoy her drama.
