“Um. What’s going on?” She ran her hand tiredly over her face. To her surprise, she saw it was shaking.
“See what I mean?” Ian said.
Huh? What did he mean?
“Yep,” Jack replied. “We need to deal with this. Now.”
“What? What are the two of you talking about?”
To her shock, they each took one of her hands and led her back to the slightly shaded area where they’d put their stuff.
Ian pointed at her. “Sit down in there.”
“What? Why?” She turned to look at Jack. “What is going on with the two of you?”
“Do what he says,” Jack said firmly.
Okay . . . that was odd. But she decided it was best to go along with what they wanted.
She sat in the shade. It wasn’t that much cooler, but it was nice to be out of the sun. She closed her eyes for a moment. She could almost have a nap right here. If her head would stop thumping, that was.
A yip of shock escaped her as she felt someone pull her slightly forward. Then something cool was pressed around the back of her neck.
“Too cold.” She batted at it.
“Stop that,” Ian commanded. “You’re too hot. You need to cool down.”
“It’s not that hot out here,” she mumbled.
“No, it’s not,” Ian said. “So, why are you already dehydrated?”
“Am not. Take that back.”
“You are,” Jack added.
Someone grabbed her arm, and she felt a chilly substance touch her hot skin.
Opening her eyes, she gaped at Ian as he started putting sunscreen on her.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
He just shot her a look. Right. It was obvious what he was doing.
“Why?”
“You’re going to get sun-burned without sunscreen.”
“I already put some on.”
“Hours ago,” he pointed out. “It’s probably worn off by now.”
“Here. Drink this.” Jack handed her an open bottle of water. She stared at it.
Maybe she was delirious. Perhaps she’d fainted and this was some sort of strange dream.
Usually, she dreamed about horrible things. Death. Disfigurement. Being a disappointment to her family.
Oh, yeah.
