My protagonist is listening in on a conversation happening on the other side of a door. Should I have the conversation in the other room in italics, or what? I feel I need to format it differently for whatever reason. Otherwise, it just seems wrong to me, putting the indirect dialogue and the direct dialogue (other people eavesdropping with her, whispering comments along the way) floating above one another. It feels like it's all happening in the same place.
Thoughts?
