Phoenix Maplewood Here I dreamt I was an architect

Scarlett shook her head lightly when Reek spoke about being there sooner. Maybe he could have saved him, yes. But that didn't mean that it was the best thing. Scarlett thought that most things happen for a reason, even though that belief was slowly fading with all that happened to her. "No, Reek. You shouldn't think like that. Maybe if you were there sooner, you would think it was your fault that he eventually died too. Everyone has their way of being out of life, and sometimes you can't stop that. Maybe if you prevented it, your friend would maybe have died of something else when you weren't around," she spoke.

Scarlett swallowed thickly, feeling like she was at the end of her life too. She had said it before to Reek but now she kept quiet. "It is like saying, if you came with me finding herbs and plants that cougar might not have attacked. You can't be everywhere at once," she urged softly, feeling more and more tired. But she wanted Reek to know that sometimes there was no way that certain events could be prevented.
