Derrick couldn't pinpoint how exactly he got involved with Caroline Abernathy. Although "involved" was not exactly the word for it, their relationship was the most platonic one he had ever known. He was determined to focus on his career, having just been drafted to New York, after the disaster that occurred with the Senators. Derrick had sworn off of relationships for a while, especially with Caroline, who carried a truckload of baggage herself. 
 
Things were going great for Caroline. She was getting married to the man of her dreams. They had just moved into an apartment in the city together. She had gotten a near-perfect score on her LSATs. She had gotten into Columbia's Law School. Then, Adam gets an offer from the Cubs. A large offer. One that his agent thinks is too large to disregard. 
 
All of a sudden, her fiance is 800 miles away and she's spending most of her time with Darcy McKane's younger brother, Derrick Grenier. It was by accident in the beginning really. 

They seem to visit the same late night restaurants all around the city until Derrick's had enough ignoring the fact that they've never met before. Sometimes absurdity just becomes a little too much. Yet, Derrick gets the feeling he's in over his head.
