But before he could continue, Alyssa's forehead puckered into a frown. She let go of Trenton's hand and held on to the edge of the table. She started looking around the room urgently, with panic on her face. Trenton thought he heard her growl. Could that be? Suddenly, Alyssa jumped up from her chair, said "Sorry - be right back," and hurried in the direction of the bathroom.
