eyes or those dimples he flashed every so often, making her knees weak. But right now he wasn’t smiling.
    Jada inhaled and then slowly released the breath. “That was weird, but I’m fine. I think I just stood up too fast.”
    “Nah, I think it’s more than that.” Zack wrapped his arm around her waist. “We’ve been at this a few hours. I think we should take a break so you can get something to drink and something to eat. The little water you had almost an hour ago isn’t enough to keep you hydrated out here.”
    “Zack, I told you, I’m fine.” She pulled away, still feeling a little light-headed, but sure, she could stand on her own. “I want to fill up a few more baskets before I stop. You said your goal was to fill at least ten of them before lunch, and I plan to do the same.”
    “No. We’re stopping now.” He placed his hand on her elbow prepared to guide her out of the field, but she yanked her arm from his grasp.
    Jada had to keep herself from giving him one of her signature neck rolls. Instead, she put her hands on her hips and looked at him pointedly. She wasn’t used to anyone saying no to her and she sure as hell didn’t like anyone telling her what to do.
    “I’m a grown woman. I’ll let you know when I need a break.”
    “Jada.” He sighed in exasperation. He removed his cap and swiped at the perspiration on his forehead. “I’m not trying to boss you around. It’s hot out here, and I’m just looking out for you, especially since you haven’t eaten anything.”
    “Would you just go? The sooner you take those baskets and come back with empty ones, the sooner we can get done.”
    He still didn’t seem convinced, but Jada ignored him. It wasn’t until she heard him leave did she look up. Despite still feeling a little lightheaded, she couldn’t help but admire his nice butt.
    Whew, that is one fine man .
    She smiled and shook her head, immediately regretting the sudden move when she felt her body waver again.
    “Okay Jada, get it together.”
    She lowered herself and knelt on her hands and knees. Closing her eyes, she breathed in slowly, then exhaled. There had been plenty of times she had gone longer than a few hours without food and water, never having a problem. The only difference she could think of is that she was outside in the hot sun, but still…
    Maybe Zack’s right. Maybe it is time to take a break .
    She’d take a couple of minutes to get herself together before heading to the main building for some water. She just hoped Zack wasn’t one of those guys who said, “I told you so.” Normally she knew her body, but of course, it would betray her now that she was out with a hot guy.
    A few minutes passed and she felt a little steadier. She sat back and removed her gloves, then her sunglasses. The only time she hung outside when it was that hot was if she were working. Yet she’d not only let the blue-eyed hottie talk her into working outdoors, but she’d also allowed him to convince her to pick vegetables. She smiled to herself. Her cousins were never going to believe she’d done some gardening.
    Feeling a little better, she stood slowly, but a bout of dizziness gripped her. Oh God . She staggered. Panic lodged in her throat as her heart rate spiked. Blinking her eyes several times, she couldn’t fight the blurriness. Her body teetered left, then right. There was nothing to grab. Everything around her spun in circles.
    “Zack.” The whisper slipped through her lips before everything went black.
     
     

Chapter Six
     
    Zack carried the baskets full of cucumbers into the main building and handed them off, still berating himself about not taking more breaks. Used to working in the field alone, he went hours before stopping. With this being Jada’s first time out there, and she hadn’t eaten, he should’ve known better. She might think she’s fine, but she didn’t look fine.
    I should’ve insisted on her eating something before we went out there.
    He stuffed
