Kate's POV
Derek thought I was sleeping but I wasn't. He'd said my name twice and then said the last thing I I expected but the thing I wanted to hear most. "Kate, I love you." I had to wrestle with myself not to get up and wrap my arms around him and never let him go. I wanted to say it back and why wouldn't I? If I loved him why couldn't I say it back? Then suddenly the thought of telling him I loved him made me think of Michael and how he'd hurt me. Derek was nothing like Michael and I mentally smacked myself for even comparing the two.
A few minutes had passed and I heard Derek's breathing deepen. It sounded like he was asleep so I carefully moved off of his chest and readjusted so I was on his shoulder and able to look at his face. I had a huge smile on my face and the thought of telling Derek I loved him too made my heart hurt with joy. I fell asleep on the man I loved that night and had the best night sleep I'd had in forever.
