Rob was the closest and had seen Nina's eyes roll back in her head. Acting quickly, he caught Nina before she hit the ground, swinging her up in his arms. Shifting her light weight, he looked over at Joan, her hand covering her mouth, her eyes wide as she looked down at her friend.

Before she could say anything, Rob began to bark orders, and everyone scattered but Emily, her focus completely on her mother.

"Is she going to be all right?" she asked, fear in both her eyes and voice as she stayed close.

Rob smiled down reassuringly at her as he walked to the staircase. "Your mom will be just fine. She's just exhausted, sweetheart."

He hadn't noticed Jacob until then, following behind them. Rob turned and raised an eyebrow. "She's exhausted," he said bluntly. "She can answer your damn questions later, man."

Anger flashed in Jacob's eyes, but then a shutter came down, concealing his emotions as he nodded curtly.

Pivoting on his heels, Jacob stalked back toward the lounge area, and Rob turned, carrying Nina into a guest room at the top of the stairs, Joan and Emily following closely behind. Nina was still passed out, her face pale, and Rob laid her down gently on the bed, Emily and Joan hovering nearby.

Rob didn't want to leave her. He found himself gazing down at the woman with an intensity that shook him, an unfamiliar intensity that wasn't normal. He was thirty-two years old, and yet the feeling he was consumed with was new.

Forcing himself to move aside and walk away from her, he left Nina to the care of her friend and daughter and headed back downstairs, his own feet dragging. Before he could think about sleep, though, he had to check on the campers and get the jealous idiot settled into a room. He had seen the love and possession flash in the other man's eyes every time he looked at Nina, especially back at the cave when Nina and he had both caught Jacob's look. She may have thought they were just friends, but if Jacob had anything to do with that line of thought, the two would be more than that. A better man would have stepped back and given the other who had known her the longest a chance, but Rob had never claimed to be the better man. Granted, he lived on a mountain, and it was often times dangerous, and those facts alone should have stalled him or at least caused him to think long and hard, but he didn't.

There was something about Nina, about the love she clearly felt and demonstrated for her daughter, and for some unknown reason, he was more than attracted to her. He didn't quite understand it, as he had just met her the night before and not in the best situation. They had barely spoken and yet something was there, something he found himself desperate to pursue.

Sighing at the insane direction of his thoughts, he hit the foyer of the lounge and spied Jacob near the fire, staring into the orange and red blaze of the flames.
