His gaze was narrow and hard and his jaw tight. "If this so called "glow"
is authentic, which I seriously doubt, what makes you believe that you are
entitled to any explanations?" Derek was rapidly losing his temper now.
He slammed the picture down on the table. "I do want that negative Mr.
Markham and then I want you to get out, before I have you removed."
Julia couldn't explain it.. maybe it was the sudden look in the man's gaze
or the ...... feeling she just got, or maybe it was the feeling that
whatever was driving him to find answers was so personal that it was
like.... it was like what she would do if Derek were to suddenly disappear -
which was anything possible to find him.
But she put her hand over his, her gaze pinning the photographer but without
heat.
"You're looking for someone." she said, words quiet "And you seem to think I
can help you find them."
She looked at Derek, giving his hand a gentle squeeze. Then to Bryce "This
really isn't the time or place."
And him showing up at the House when the Council was supposed to show up
wouldn't be the place either.
Julia knew Derek wouldn't like what she was about to offer but it was the
only thing she could think of "Meet me tomorrow morning at the shopping
square... where you took this picture. We'll talk then."
