Derek started to object, they had drivers that could that and he wasn't sure
it was such a good idea. However, he saw the look in Julia's eyes and heard
the tone in her voice. He wasn't sure what he'd done, but he was getting
the message that he'd done something. "All right," he agreed after a
thoughtful pause. "Julia, I'm sorry...for putting you in this position."
He realized that she was the one who chose to take Megan home, but he
couldn't help but feel responsible.
