As I tried to keep up appearances, my body finally gave in. I felt dizzy and clammy, and before I knew it, I blacked out right in the middle of the party. When I came to, I was surrounded by concerned family members who helped me up. Someone handed me a piece of cake, thinking it might help with my sugar levels. I reassured everyone that I was fine, just tired, but I caught Jake frowning. I wasn’t sure what his look meant, but I sensed he was more worried about his image than my well-being.
