    Kathleen paced the house waiting for Derek's return, she felt tensed and wondered if he also blamed her for what had happened, did he also think she would harm Kyle on purpose? She heard the door open as he came in, his gaze flickered to her but didn't say a word to her, "Derek, I didn't do it on purpose, please believe me"He made no response as he pulled his clothes and hit the shower, he was so exhausted as he hadn't had a moment of rest, after a busy day in the office, he had come back home to meet the incident at home and without even stopping to change, had rushed Kyle to the hospital and had stayed with him for quite some time, it was almost midnight and his head aches, he needed a good sleep. Feeling a little bit better after the shower, he dried off and stepped out, he almost ran into Kathleen who was standing by the door, looking so worried."Do you also think I hurt Kyle on purpose?"

    Kathleen couldn't sleep, she kept tossing and turning on the bed, it was almost dawn when she heard Derek's car pull up the driveway and a few minutes later she heard the door open and he entered inside the house, she kept her eyes tightly shut, pretending to be asleep and hoping to avoid him, he quietly climbed the bed, kissed her forehead, he said nothing as he simply climbed on the bed and fell asleep, tears slipped from the corner of her eyes but she made no attempt to open her eyes. Kathleen opened her eyes and squinted against the morning ray of the sun, the blinds were opened, she gazed around and saw no one in the room, she was about to stand up when the door opened and Derek entered bearing a tray of breakfast, "good morning sunshine" he greeted as soon as he entered, showing dimples, " I brought you breakfast" he placed it on the table before her.Perhaps he was trying to cover up his guilt for spending the night with Nicole, she stared at the food, sulking, "I'
