Waiting Game

Making decisions was hard. That much Derek knew. He was the CEO of Haven Group after all. He made difficult decisions on a daily basis. Decisions that would have had most people losing their minds in the span of a few hours. He knew what it was, to take into consideration things that most people would not even be thinking of, before he made a choice that would affect the lives of millions of people.

But it seemed that being the decision maker had made Derek blind to another aspect of the decision that could be just as difficult. And that was waiting for somebody else to make a decision on something that concerned you. But he now understood just how horrible waiting could be.

Emily had made him wait, and in the hours that it had taken for him to get from the penthouse and go back to the diner, Derek had been in his own personal hell.
