After a week away from work. Derek should have walked into the office, whistling a happy tune, a bounce in his step.
And a big smile on his face, as he wished everyone that he came across a good morning. But that was not what happened at all. Instead Derek walked into Haven Group headquarters on Monday morning feeling as though he were waiting for something, and whatever that something was. He was certain that it would not be good.
After all, what hope did he have that something not awful was likely to happen to him after everything?
His Emily had left him without a word. Breaking Derek's heart, and leaving him wondering what exactly had gone wrong.
Then he had found out what it was, that had chased her away.
His own mother of all people.
After finding out that his mother had been involved in Emily deciding to end things. Derek's hopes had been raised. He had rushed to Emily's apartment.
