"What'd you do to her, Mark?" Derek asked as mark shot him a look

"Nothing addison and I are good. She's not the one im interested in"

"Please tell me your still not trying to sleep with my sister" Derek said

"She didn't give a reason. " Richard said

Grace whales over to Derek as he stood in the hallway and smiled

"You get any sleep?" She asked

"I did, actually, after I evicted a raccoon that chewed his way into the luggage compartment." Derek said

"Mmm, the trailer. "

" Yes."

"If you stayed with me you wouldn't have to worry over that. I might be able to sleep at three in the morning and not miss you" she said as he smiled

"Hmm"

" So, while you were sleeping...when I drowned it was different for you then it was for me. Something happened to me and I really don't know how to explain it without sounding like...I just, I feel different. I wanna be better at everything and I wanna let you in. I swear. " Grace said

" Did you practice that?" Derek asked with a smirk

"With hand gestures but I dropped those. Just now is not the time to give up on me, ok? That's what I'm saying." Grace said
