Abe snorted. “No, you won’t.”

No. She wouldn’t.

Crumbles, it was hard when the person she wanted to be mad at knew her so well. And was only trying to look out for her.

Isaiah:I’ll find one now.

Jenner:Guys! Chill.

Immy raised her eyebrows.Was Jenner going to be the voice of reason?

Jenner:There’ll be a hotel doctor. I’ll call ahead to the hotel.

Immy groaned.That had disaster written all over it. She could see the headlines now.

Jenner Knight Inquires AboutA Doctor.

Is Jenner Knight Ill?

It was amazinghow the press could make a mountain out of a molehill.

“For fuck’s sake, Sampson better not let him do that,” Abe muttered. “I’ll do it.”

Immy:Guys! I’m fine! Abe is overreacting. I don’t need a doctor. I’m fine.

Jenner:Are you sure? Are you running a fever? I don’t know about this . . . I think a doctor is a good idea.

God.

This is part of the reason she loved him. It had started off as a child’s love. Adoration for the guy who was her protective big brother. Over time it had morphed into more.

Immy wasn’t sure when she’d started to see him as more than a big brother. Sometime after they’d moved in together. At first, it had been a silly crush. Something she’d hidden from everyone until she’d confessed her feelings to Maeve.

She’d tried to squish her feelings into a tight box.

However, that box was starting to disintegrate.

Immy:No doctor. I’m fine. And all of you need to quit it. The end.

There.That told them.

Abe glanced over at her. “The end?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Imms, I don’t want you to get sick.”

She felt herself softening. She knew that Abe was remembering all the times she’d been in ill the past. Reaching over, she squeezed his hand. “I’ll go to bed when we get back tothe hotel. And you can take my temperature. If I’ve got a fever, we’ll call for a doctor. Fair?”

“Fair.”

Jenner rushed through the hotel,Sampson at his heels.

“Don’t know why you hired that woman,” Sampson grumbled.

Jenner sighed. “She’s just doing her job.” But yeah, he was kind of annoyed too. He’d hired Lauren to help his career and she was doing that.

But it meant that he hardly spent any time with his family, with Immy.
