Alyssa just looked at him, "Okay...what does that have to do with me not wanting to be a burden on you? You don't trust her because of her tale and ability. Alright, I get that. But you still could have taken her medicine, gone to find out if she was faking it or not. To be honest I don't really see what her ability has to do with any of this. At all." She didn't! Alyssa hadn't asked Scarlett to come over, she'd volunteered so anything that happened wasn't really her fault. It wasn't like she knew she was going to have to turn around and do something terrible to another person.
"Someone was sick, they called you for help, you hung up on them without a second thought. That is what I have to go on River. You were at work, which is important to you, I figured I had even less of a chance and didn't want to be a bother." Alyssa was trying not to think about how she was reacting to River at the moment. The only people that could ever get her to not constantly see the brighter side of things were the people that had gotten so far under her skin they were n't going away. Ever.
