THE NEXT MORNING, I moaned as I rolled over and attempted to get up. My body felt heavy and ached all over. I was freezing, but I was drenched in sweat.

“Don’t move.”

I froze at the sound of his voice. Then I opened my eyes and saw Blake.

“Am I dreaming?” I asked, feeling like my head was lost in a cloud somewhere in the sky. I had to be dreaming. Last I remembered I was on the sofa with Kaelynn, eating ice cream.

“Kaelynn called last night and said you started to feel bad and you had a fever that was going up. Naturally Nash raced over here to check on you. Then he made Kaelynn leave, but not before he had her drink some vitamin-B immunity drink. My father and I stuck around to take care of you.”

“Take care of me? Your father?” I asked, trying to swallow. My hand came up to my throat, and I rubbed it. “My throat hurts.”

“You also have a fever.”

I shot up in bed, then gasped as the entire room spun.

“Hey, hey, don’t do that. Lie back down, princess.”

“Kaelynn!”

“She’ll be fine.”

“But if I have a fever?”

“My dad checked her out and told her what to do if she started to feel bad. Your fever climbed all night. Do you not remember any of that?”

I looked up at him, trying to make my memory work.

“I don’t remember anything. Your father was here?”

He smiled. “Yeah, he was. Sucks you don’t remember meeting him for the first time.”

Closing my eyes, I let out another groan. “I didn’t say anything to him, did I?”

He laughed. “No. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone come down with the flu as fast as you did.”

My phone buzzed on the side table, and I reached for it.

Oh my gosh . . . My entire body ached.

“It’s Rich.”

I wasn’t positive, but I was pretty sure I heard a growl come from Blake.

Rich: I think I’m getting the flu. I hope you got the flu shot.

My eyes hurt like hell, but I managed to text him back.

Me: I’m in bed, feeling like crap.

He texted back instantly.

Rich: Dammit! You got me sick!

I dropped the phone to the bed and closed my eyes.

“My head hurts. My everything hurts.”

Blake took my temperature.

“Your fever is at a hundred and three. Let’s get you into a bath to try to bring it down.”

We stared at one another for a few moments. “I don’t think I can move. I feel like death.”

I was positive I looked like it too.

He pushed a strand piece of hair back, then used the back of his cool hand to feel my forehead, then ran it slowly down my cheek.

“That feels like heaven.”

“I hate that you’re not feeling good, princess.”

There was no doubt he meant every word he said.

“I’m so tired.”

Blake stood. “I’ll run the bath.”

The next thing I remembered was feeling someone lift me and carry me through my bedroom. At least, I thought I was in my bedroom. Cool water hit my body, instantly making the heat go away.
