Okay, liked the whole sense of the calm after the storm. But I had a couple things that seemed odd to me.
First, Vic is a Dr as well as her brother, so is he really as clueless about the way Valerie really feels or is Valerie kidding herself?
Two, she has a concussion. So, in my experience, that means she needs to be watched, perhaps woken up every couple hours? And what about that nausea? Did she get something for that, because every time I've had one, the pounding headache and the vomit were two bedmates that made me feel really lousy.
Three, why would Alan ask if she wanted to stay there? Her car is totalled, and if I'm not mistaken, it's a fair walk to her house, especially if she has a concussion and she feels as bad as I suspect. Besides, wouldn't have Vic just taken her home if she was well enough to be by herself?
But isn't Alan a nice guy to go get her furbabies? Awwww

Valerie is always annoyed by her brother's hovering, so, even if she feels like shit, she's not going to admit it to him. He knew she was about to faint before she did though, hence jamming her into a chair right quick-like. I don't recall mentioning nausea, though. I was avoiding that because it would mean her injuries really were serious enough to be hospitalized and I would be back where this scene was originally, with too much drama.

She is staying with Alan and Nessa. Even if she had demurred, they would have quietly ignored her and made her stay anyway.

Her house is maybe 100 yards away, over the pasture and through the trees (to Grandmother's hous-- sorry...;-). Vic wasn't goig to leave her alone, not yet anyway. If she muled up enough to walk herself home, then she was probably up to being alone. There's a method in his madness. That's why he dropped her there and not at home.

Yes he is. He and Valerie were friends before he met Nessa, and he knows her as well as her blood kin.
