Chapter 41

I finally feel like some of the tensions are lifted as I finish the story. We all sit quietly for a minute before Derek decides to tell his side of the story. He tells Liz about how he found me walking zombified and felt a need to pick me up. He felt drawn to me, is what he says. I didn’t know that part and I glance at him. He smiles at me sheepishly and I can’t help but smile back. He explains that he watched me sleep for about an hour before he fell asleep himself. The laughing that I heard was because he was talking to Liz about a blind date that she had the night before.

Liz laughs when he explains his confusion of me not talking to him. He was frustrated that I wouldn't and thought that I was just shy. That is until he noticed my frustrations with it and he realized that I couldn't talk. They have ways to help people talk, here in the future, so he has never known anyone that couldn't.
