Is there a hard grammatical rule for this or is it just preference?

(1)
"Blah blah blah," says Alice. Bob shifts his weight.
"Blah." He concurs.

(2)
"Blah blah blah," says Alice.
Bob shifts his weight. "Blah." He concurs.

(1) sounds like it's correct, and I'd feel inclined to use that construction in most cases, but is (2) strictly wrong? Perhaps in a situation where there's many sentences, instead of just one, between the two statements.
