Glancing between Derek and Kate, I can't help but grin. The comfort between them is obvious and I wonder for a second if there's ever been anything more than friendship between them. (In truth, I wonder that about a lot of Derek's friends now that I know about him and Neil even if I know I shouldn't. It's not any of my business.)

"Well, there's a first time for everything, isn't there?" I reply, wandering over to the rack again and flipping through until I find a bright blue knit one and bring it over. "So how long have y'all been friends anyway?"
