Ughhh. I thought and opened my eyes. Once again I awoke to the familiar surroundings I thought I wouldn''t have to see again. Yeah, you guessed it... a hospital room. Funny how things just seem to go downhill just when you think things couldn''t possibly get any worse. The door to my room opened, and to my surprise, Steve stood there with a particularly satisfied grin on his face.

“Why did I know that?

What was up with Nina tonight? I asked myself. To my knowledge, she has never stood up to Jeanette like that, or to anyone else for that matter. I reached a hand out to her out of sheer reflex and she took my hand and gave it a small chaste kiss instead of shaking it like I had intended.

Wait, did I just deny Jeanette comfort? I asked myself and I found it hard to believe that I didn’t stroke her ego to try to ease the tension in the room. I mentally shook my head, because that was not a great survival tactic to piss off a powerful vampire. Okay, damage control to the rescue.
