Derek had to admit that the message he sent alarmed him more than what he could have expected . He wished to write and send that to her , which was an obvious fact . But he didn't think it would accidentally get sent to her . She would not like that . The phone slipped from his grasp .

"Whoa , steady there dude !" Gabriel scolded , narrowing his eyes at a very astounded Derek who was blankly staring in the air .
