"I do love you." Derek told her in exasperation.  "And realize that there
may not have been anyway for me to know that she would break like she did.
But I am not blameless here.  There are things you don't know.  For one, I
was the one who initiated our relationship, not Megan.  And I did encourage
it.  I even flew to France to be with her once.  No I am not responsible for
what she did, but I did lead her on, though I'll admit I didn't think that
what I was doing at the time."

"I didn't say you didn't love me, Derek." Julia said, looking into her hands
and hearing what he said before closing her eyes.

Oh yeah, this was just what she wanted to hear, she thought numbly,
remembering what Megan had said about death, feelings and moving on.

"Because you thought you were starting over with her?"  she asked, only to
look out at the parking lot and the cars around them.  What a place to have
this talk.
