THE DAY ALISON GOT HOME, her father was running in and out of the room, trying to help her get ready and trying her best to sort things out with the doctor. Her aunt Emily finally came; she sat in a chair far away from her with a scowl on her face. Alison felt confused by her harsh exterior, and it was as if she hated her existence.
Had Alison done something to upset her?
When she first came into the room. Alison thought she felt sympathy for her; her face remained so surprised, and Emily finally let the angry mask down; Emily has been so distant from Alison, and she couldn't help but wonder what made her isolate herself again. Alison's aunt had always been the type of person to keep to herself, but she always came to see her. Even if they disagreed for the past few months, Emily never came to visit. Alison had even gone down to see her, but she never answered the door.
