And why would you care if she had?
“Oh, hi, Jameson.” She rubbed her eyes like a little girl. Fuck. So adorable.
“Hey, sweetheart. I heard you’re not feeling so great.”
“What are you doing out of bed?” Ian demanded.
She jolted, looking over at the big guy with a frown. “Because it’s four in the afternoon and I wanted to talk to my uncle about tomorrow. Is that okay with you?”
“No. You need to rest. I was about to bring you up some food.”
She glanced over at the tray of food he had set on the counter. There was enough on it to feed three people. But instead of looking at Ian like he was a crazy person, she gave him a soft smile.
“Thank you. That’s so kind.”
He and Jack shared a look.
Kind? Ian?
The guy could be a jackass. Demanding and cold. But there was a softness to him as he guided Maggie over to the island and drew items off the tray, watching over her as she reached for a piece of fruit.
Jameson frowned at the way her hand shook slightly. He walked closer to her. She got off the stool, swaying slightly.
“Whoa. Careful.” He reached out to place his hand on the small of her back. “Are you feeling dizzy? Have you got a headache?”
“I’m fine. It’s just a small headache. There was really no need for you to come over. Ian tends to overreact.”
“I do not. Now, sit down or you’re going back to bed.”
She frowned. “I’m fine.”
“Actually, I’d rather you sat,” Jameson told her firmly. “I want to check your vitals.”
“I really am okay.”
“Please. For me?”
She gaped up at him, swallowing heavily.
“Gosh, you’re beautiful.”
He tried to hide his grin, but he couldn’t manage it. Relief filled him.
There she was.
He didn’t know what it said about him that he was relieved she was looking at him like he was chocolate cake and she was starving.
Probably nothing good.
But she sat back on the stool and he took her pulse and checked her blood pressure.
“You guys were out in the desert today?” he asked.
“Yeah,” Ian said. “We noticed she was unsteady and looked like she had a headache. She seemed dehydrated, so we got her under the shade and gave her water and electrolytes.”
“How long were you out there?”
“Just a couple of hours.”
