"Geez, Derek. Why do you keep doing that?"
"Why do you keep falling asleep in the tub?"
"What are you doing in here?" I inquire.
"Joseph sent me. You've been in here for a while and the paige was afraid to come in."
"Oh. okay. Why did he send you? I mean what was his reasoning?"
"He thought that maybe you were having second thoughts." he says, sounding a little hurt.
"I didn't mean to sound like I didn't want to see you. I just meant, why, for the staff's sake.” I motion towards the basin. “Can you hand me that cloth?"
Derek hands it to me, gives me a kiss on the forehead, and then leaves. I walk into the room and I notice the table with food on it. My stomach grumbles reminding me that I am hungry. I quickly grab the blue dress off the bed and put it on. When I turn around, Derek is sitting at the table.
"Where did you come from?"
