Julia chuckled and looked back at Nick "No, now leave her alone and wait until we get home. Keep talking and the bribe price goes up to twenty."
Nick made a face at her but winked. It was good to see Amber involved a little more with them and he didn't want to her running back into he shell. Leave it to Jules to get her out of it, even if a little. "I'll be good, I'll be good." Derek was glad to see it too, perhaps she was just shy. However, he was very concerned that it was more than that. The fact that he might have scared her to death, did not settle well with him. But what was he supposed to do? Change who he was? No, definitely not. He wasn't about to make that sort of major change now, not the he could even if he tried.
