If anyone's lucky here, I know it's me, but it's still a nice thing for Derek to say.

Laughing a little, I shake my head and throw him a quick glance. "You're not gonna rip my boyfriend's throat out and we both know it," I tell him, still thrilling a little at the fact that I get to say those words. Even if Simon and I had sort of been dating, I'd never really called him my boyfriend and I don't think he'd called me that either.

It's not even so much that I have a boyfriend now as it that it's Jack. Sometimes it still doesn't feel real.

"Oh, but that, uhm. Brings up something I wanted to ask you about," I say, grabbing my tub of sugar next.
