And so the partnership was forged, in fire.
I still don’t trust him. He’s all Nicey-Norville now, but let your guard down and he’ll be taking over your body or something.
I’m glad to see her family was there for her.
Dang it, Charlie! How are you so darn perceptive? Are you a psychic? Well, I guess there are no new stories, just recycled ones. All I can say is that you’ve tapped into something I’m saving for Book 2.
Well, if the doctors have taught me anything, it’s that you shouldn’t trust the voices in your head.
And I didn’t mean he actually would possess her! Just that he might try something funny like that.
I’m really glad that her family was there for her. Too often writers fall back on the “terrible family” trope to make things interesting or “edgy.”
They could still be jerks, of course, but for now it’s nice to see.
And what’s the book “The Mummy” that you mentioned? I may have to track down a copy.
Phew, everyone made it out okay. I was happily surprised that her mom was there with her. I had gotten a not so great impression of her in earlier chapter, but now I see that she really is a caring person. It makes me feel fuzzy inside.
Young girl, where are your manners!? You should put your pinky up when drinking tea! (That is, as far as I know, incorrect. Etiquette is a complex matter and one I’m not well versed in, though.

“The Mummy! Or a Tale of the 22nd Century” by Jane C. Webb Loudon, published in 1827.
Got it! Thanks for that. It’s an epub, in terrible condition. I might be able to clean it up a bit.
Oh, this is a much better denouement to this situation than the “dream” cliche, and cleverly presented, too.
I especially like Jane’s expressions here.
Thanks, Delta-V. Plus, the little bird is still alive. Well, as “alive” as an undead chickadee can be.

Jane’s mom is a bit on the selfish side, but she’s still a mom first and socialite second.
The dead doctor mentioned that she gave up her position as Queen’s Advisor to take care of Jane:

Caught up 😀

Ha, that’s probably true! She has even been known to slurp her tea when no one is around.
Thanks for reading. 😀
