"No they don't," he agreed glancing up at Julia. "I wish she would learn to use
chairs," he added idly. He was a bit concerned about her hopping out on the trellis
himself. It did not appear to be all that sturdy.
Nick paused and looked up thoughtfully before looking back at Derek and then going
back to the cast "This one should be done in ten minutes."
Then he moved to the other one, waiting until then to speak again "You're feeling
better, aren't you?"
He had never really talked to Derek about it but he had seen his reaction when they
had found Julia that night in Ireland, and he'd seen Derek during that time of the
year. Even with his usual private, almost stoic expressions Nick could tell a
difference.
That difference was gone. If Nick would go a step further there was even a lack of...
tension about Derek's eyes or over all stature.
