heard between the words

Not unlike read between the lines, but it is what is verbally implied. It's typically important but sensitive.

Darry: Hey! Have you heard about Jessie?"
Danica: "Word! She's in a mess!"
Darry: "I heard between the words that Larry in on point."
Danica: "Oh my lovin' Lord! Stay away!!!!"
