“This is too much for her, Blake. I knew she should’ve rested longer.”

“What are you talking about, man?”

“Let’s get her to her room. She mentioned she felt weak. She didn’t eat all day.”

“That prick! How could he let this happen? Did you hear them, Cary? They tried to question Mom! My mom, man!”

“That’s what they do. I tried to warn Lauren.”

“You and I both know there’s nothing we can do about the damn paparazzi, but finding Mom, that’s low. I don’t get it. I’m seen with you all the time and no one has snooped behind me.”

“Lauren’s in a different circle. One you stepped into as well, mate. Jackson has a strong fan following, and being associated with him, won’t be good for her.”

“If anything happened to her . . . if she gets hurt because of him . . .”

“Nothing is going to happen to her.”

I opened my eyes and saw how worried Blake looked. Cary looked pissed.

“You can put me down. I can’t believe I fainted. That has never happened.” I was in Cary’s arms, bridal style.

“Sis, are you okay?”

“I think so. Other than being totally embarrassed, I’m fine.”

“You’ve been through too much, love. You still need time to recoup,” Cary whispered in my ear.

He gently lowered me onto my bed.

“Remember, you said our bodies sometimes react to stressful situations? Well, I think my mind and body had enough.”

“That, and you haven’t eaten,” Cary said. “I’ll go fix something, but first, do you want to talk about it?”

“Thanks, but no. You guys can leave now.”

“Not yet, Sis. I need some answers. What the hell! You kissed Jackson Cruz?”

“He kissed me, actually.” The guys looked at each other, then back to me.

“Did you know he was dating Zara Tilly?” Cary asked.

“Well, I did and didn’t. Long story.”

“You knew?” Blake looked shocked.

“He told me that night. Look, I trust you both not to say anything. Jackson could get in trouble for this, but it’s a sham relationship built for publicity.”

I was surprised by Cary’s reaction. He was furious.

“Jackson put you in the middle of that!” Cary practically screamed. “Do you know what that means, Lauren?”

“It means our relationship was supposed to be kept a secret. Now, I don’t know what it’s going to do to us.”

“You need to focus on what it’s going to do to you, Lauren. I warned you. You should have stayed away from him.”

“Cary, I like him.” That was harder to admit out loud. “I’m not going to stay away from him unless he wants that.”

“Sis, I like the guy, but if he hurts you . . .”

“He won’t. I won’t let him.” I shook my head. “But, damn, they found Mom?”

“Hey, don’t worry about that,” Blake said.

Cary squeezed my shoulder. “I’ll take care of it. No one will get near her again.”

“Thanks. Can we talk later? I’m really tired.”

“You should be. You had quite a weekend, love.”

I smiled and looked into his beautiful, worried eyes.

“You had to carry me to bed, twice. You’re my hero.”
