couple of typos needing correction:
lily's should be lillies
thanks them all for coming should be thank them...
I have not read the other chapters so it was a little hard knowing who all the characters were and the author notes at least helped with some of them. Does it seem plausible that they would all leave the hospital room and go out on the boat for this fancy dinner just after having been in this accident? Would Jim be so willing to let Brook go after having been hospitalized herself? But maybe I missed something not having read the previous chapters.

Thank you so much for your very helpful review. The secret all rests in the vampire's venom which the girls have. It speeds up their recovery time by weeks, LOL. Thanks again!

Comment from Jonez08
Great chapter Steve, glad Lori is okay. I'll have to wait and see if Brook and Stan behaves themselves...grrrr
When I heard she was taken to Halifax(,) I needed to be here.
Tell them we're going home, that Lori needs (some) rest and (that she) thanks them all for coming.
(none of these are needed)
He hung the phone up
(consider: He ended the call)

Comment from findingmyroom
Hmm, do I see product placement?? LOL Here's something for you to look at again:
Running past Jill toward Lori, she asked, "How is she?"
Closing the door, she replied, "Much better now."
Reaching Lori's bed, she bent to hug her.
The first and third "she" in this sequence refer to Christine, and the second "she" is Jill. Some clarification would definitely help. Otherwise, this is a nice feel-good chapter, ended just right with a new crisis.

One good thing about vampires, they have a long "life" expectancy. (LOL) Very well written with good imagery and descriptive scheme.

I am doing well thank you Barbara. Hope you too are well. If anything, I'm just busy between reading/writing and work and home. I find it takes me about 4 hours to write a five page chapter, additional time for editing. Then reviewing takes a big chunk, then work, sleep, and whatever else comes up, LOL. I used to wish I could just write all day every day, but found out I can't even if given the time. It seems the brain needs time to recharge. :) Have a great day!

i know busy. i have to laugh when i hear people say they are bored. i don't know that word. LOL i don't have enough time to do everything. i'm supposed to be writing now but want to check for edits. yeah, i can understand how working 50 to 60 hours a week as a full time writer is real.
love,
barbara

Wow! I love your ending. What I do like the most about this chapter is that it flows and the dialogue is genuine. This is truly how people talk. Your characters are real and you present them very well. I cannot offer you andy constructive criticism because I don't think your writing requires it. Good job!
