Derek slept peacefully, aware even in his deepest sleep, of Julia's presence
in his arms. In the early morning hours, nto long before they were due to
get up and go meet Bryce, Derek awoke with a start.
Unlike most times when this occured, he was immediately aware of what had
disturbed his slumber. Moving quickly and jerkily, he untangled himself
from Julia and ran into the bathroom. He barely made it there before the
heaving began.
Derek groaned miserably resting his head against the cool wood of the toilet
seat. He hadn't had but one glass of wine, so this couldn't possibly be a
hang over. Food poisoning, yes that had to be it. The pork must not have
been cooked enough. He groaned again, of all the days for this to happen
why did it have to be today?
