Derek couldn't quite recall the last time something shocked him so
thoroughly. How could he not have known? That was the first thing that
struck him. If it had been going on all these months why hadn't he seen any
signs of it? He wasn't totally certain how he felt about this revelation
either. He cared deeply for both of them and wanted nothing more than their
happiness, however for some reason he couldn't really understand the
arrangement bothered him. He couldn't put his finger on what it was though.
He cleared his throat feeling oddly ill at ease, though the feeling was
beginning to pass somewhat. "I see...." what did they expect him to say.
"I'm happy everything seems to be working out so well." Though, was he
really?
