Derek followed her upstairs slamming her bedroom door behind him and feeling
some satisfaction that it was a real heavy wooden door. "Your right," Derek
told her. "But Cross and the council arent' looking for miracles. They

fromt he dead they dee sinister things behind it. So, we have to prove to
them that it was a miracle." He moved over to the bed closing the suitcase
and returning it to the closet and closing that door with same amount of
force he had used ont he other. "And I"m NOT claiming to love you. I DO
LOVE YOU," he told her his voluming rising with his words. the fact that sh
e suddenly doubted that made him almost as angry as everything else. "I'M
JUST TRYING TO LOOK OUT FOR YOU!"
