"I'm scared." Julia murmured, hugging his arms, looking out over the water "I'm scared that you're going to look at me and instead of feeling free.. feeling the love we have... that I'm going to look into your eyes and start seeing guilt."
She shivered a little, her voice an almost whisper "I never told Nick I loved him. But when he saw how much I loved you... he didn't get angry. He didn't set out to hurt us. "He gave us his blessing, Derek. And because of that, because we both know we didn't hurt him... we've been able to love each other like we have. And now someone has decided they want to hurt us, and you feel guilty. How long before I see it in your eyes?" She closed her eyes and leaned into his arm and whispering "I can't bare the thought of you not being in my life like this, Derek, before the guilt. But if I see that in your eyes...." "You don't need to worry about that," Derek told her firmly. "I will never let that happen. I can't possibly look at you and feel anything but love...well perhaps some exasperation at times, but I've never looked at you with out feeling love. That is never going to change. Yes, I do feel some responsibility for what Magan became, but that is something I will just have to accept and I will."
