Chapter 35 -Opening Up

• After the crying session, I let Derek help me off the floor, bring me to the closest chair at my kitchen table, and settle me back in without a single complaint.
• It’s quite odd having Derek here, treating me like I’m more than a friend and neighbor. He treats me a lot like a partner may. It’s preposterous, to say the least.
• He continues cooking in my kitchen, running back to his apartment to get a few ingredients I don’t have and a bottle of wine.
