"Of course not. That's ridiculous." Rita glowers at him, still visibly flustered. And for him to say definitively that she was worried... He's got some nerve. Right, she shouldn't be taking this.

Straightening her back, she takes a step towards him, pointing an accusing finger at his face. "You don't know me, so stop acting like you do!"

Her snapping falls just short of yelling, as there's a part of Rita that's still trying not to make a spectacle. Getting the wrong kind of attention here is dangerous. She could end up... well... something would happen, but her mind seems to gloss over the specifics as if they're unimportant.
