I watched it all unfold in front of me in slow motion and there wasn’t a fucking thing I could do about it. Sophia had just kind of folded over and slipped to the ground. I would have called it graceful if I wasn’t so damned concerned.

I rose to my feet and lurched across to her as quick as my healing body would allow. Xander, Dane, and Reed were already crouched around her, and had rolled her onto her side in a recovery position.

“Is she breathing?”

“Yeah, she’s just fainted,” Dane replied confidently. “Must be a family trait. I recall Eden doing something similar.”

“I’ve never known it to happen before.”

“First time for everything, mate,” Reed chimed in, concern etched into his face.

“Hey, Soph. Can you hear me?” Xander brushed the stray hair back from her forehead tenderly and I immediately felt a hit of jealousy to my gut. Yep, he might be her brother-in-law, but that was my girl he was touching.

“Fuck,” I muttered. I couldn’t get down that low yet.

Dane looked up and realized my predicament. “We’ve got this, mate.”

“Yeah but that’s my girl,” I argued and right then, I meant every damned word. I hated not being there for her when she needed me. She’d been there the whole time for me.

Her eyes started to open and a fraction of the tension drained from my body.

“What happened?” she croaked and looked around at us all starry eyed.

“You fainted, Soph,” Xander filled in for her and pressed his hand to her forehead, checking her temperature or whatever the fuck he was doing. I wanted to scream “get your hands off my girl.”

“What?”

“How do you feel now?” Reed asked.

And as if on cue, her eyes went wide with concern and her hand shot up to her mouth.

“Going to be sick.”

Dane sprang to his feet and charged across to the reception area and grabbed a rubbish bin. Just in time, he passed it to her as Xander and Reed helped her sit.

Poor Soph, she emptied her stomach and then the dry retching just kept happening. She was exhausted and sagged in Xander’s arms.

Dane had got a wet cloth to wipe her face. She looked a sickly shade of green.

“Did you feel okay before we started?” Reed asked more gently than I would have ever expected. The guy always looked and sounded like he chewed nails for breakfast instead of cornflakes.

She moved her head back and forth slowly. “Not really.” She managed.

“Then why the hell didn’t you say something?” Reed demanded.

Did he really need to have that question answered? There was no way he would stand for a slacker. He was reluctant enough to have anything to do with women and fights. He was unrelenting. The toughest trainer in the business.

“I figured I’d be okay. It must be a virus or something,” she defended half-heartedly.

Reed looked up at me. “You okay? Not sick? These sorts of bugs generally go through a whole household. You two can’t be around Xander if you’ve got a virus.
