“Just go do whatever you were going to do,” I said. “I’m fine.”

He stopped and looked at me, shaking his head. “I just want to hang around camp in case you start feeling worse.”

Of course he did. As a boyfriend, Archer had always been concerned with my comfort and well-being. I had a feeling women were going to flock to him when this show aired. And I’d come off like a bitter, ungrateful ex.

Maybe I was just cranky. I hadn’t had coffee or sugar in nine days, and I didn’t sleep great here.

I tamped down my irritation.

“I’m fine,” I assured him. “I’m just going to be in the hammock, hopefully taking a nap.”

“It looks stormy all of a sudden,” he said, looking up at the clouds gathering in the sky. He looked back toward the shore and pointed at the raft. “I’ll be right back.”

He jogged off and I curled up on my side. I’d only had my eyes closed for a few seconds when a few raindrops fell onto my face and bare legs.

A nap while being rained on was unlikely. I wanted to grab my phone and vent to Layla about things like this. I imagined the text I’d send her right now.

WTF a jellyfish stung me and now I’m trying to nap in the rain. I hate everything.

The droplets quickly turned into a full-on rainstorm. I scowled at the sky and covered as much of my face as I could with my arm.

At least I was already wet.
