Doesn't anyone care about losing her?

"Jessica, I don't think I've ever seen you look so beautiful," Zach Marsden said softly, staring deep into her eyes. It was Wednesday afternoon, and Jessica and Zach were sharing a picnic on the quad. Zach's gaze was so intense that Jessica's heart caught in her throat. "Your eyes are the same color as the sky," he whispered. Then he buried his face in his hands, groaning. "I can't believe I just said that."
Jessica laughed, relieved that the tension was broken, and then she sunk her teeth hungrily into a hunk of soft bread. Zach was so thoughful. He had prepared an elaborate picnic of French bread, Brie cheese, red grapes, and cold pasta salad.
At first, being with Zach had just been fun, but now she was starting to have feelings for him. She knew she should tell him the truth about her age. And about Ken. She had almost summoned the courage the night before, but then she had stopped herself. He would never forgive her if her knew she had been lying to him.
