**This chapter has a bit more sexual content than before. Skip Derek's POV at the end if it bothers you.**
Kate's POV
Derek had been so sweet today that I'd forgotten all about his mother passing away. I have no idea how he was holding it all together so well but I needed to let him know he could talk to me if he needed to. I felt so selfish for not asking or even thinking of it until now. He was driving us to the restaurant, our hands locked together and I was rubbing my thumb over the top of his hand. It was the best feeling just being around him. I could understand now why Kate didn't want to let him go. If he treated her even fifty percent of the way he treated me then she was probably crying herself to sleep at night.
I looked over at him and said, "I'm really sorry that I've been so selfish Derek. Your mom just passed away and I haven't even asked you about it. I'm so sorry." I looked down at my feet but I felt his gaze on my face.
"Kate, being with you has taken the pain away. Honestly, I'm glad you haven't said anything. You have been a wonderful distraction from all my crap, but thank you for thinking of me."
