Derek smiled, "no that's not all that matters. Are you going to be alright?
That does matter." He held her tightly.
A knock at the door caught his attention.
"Should I answer that or send them away." he murmured to her.
"You're back and safe." she returned his smile before 'sneaking' a kiss and
then looking at the door. She wanted to be greedy, but also knew that
Derek's mother, at least, was waiting to see him. She doubted it was
Barbara at the door considering Derek had told her he would be down shortly
but it still stood that others were wanting time with him.
"Might be about your mom," she said "But don't be surprised if I sweep you
away later. Want me to get you a shirt?"
She looked at his arm, satisfied with the wrapping and seeing there wasn't
any bleeding to indicate the need for stitches.
