Apathy shown in a quarrel (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

indifference

'apathy' is the definition.
(I know that apathy can be written as indifference)

'in a quarrel' is the wordplay.
'a quarrel' becomes 'difference' (I've seen this before).
'in'+'difference'='INDIFFERENCE'

'shown' is the link.

(Other definitions for indifference that I've seen before include "Lack of involvement" , "Lack of concern" , "Unconcern" , "Lack of interest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
