Derek POV
Briar insisted we talk to my father together. God, I love this stubborn woman. She is so strong and amazing. I'm a lucky man that she has given me her heart and I will protect it till my dying breath. I worry about the stress this is putting on her and the baby. We pull up to the apartment building and make our way to the eighth floor. Trevor is stationed outside my father's door and gives me a nod when he sees me. "I was sorry to hear about your mother, Derek," he says.
I think that is more words than I have ever heard him string together. "Thank you, Trevor. Trevor, sometime tomorrow I would like to talk to you about the new security agents that you provided Bruce." He stiffens before he gives me a silent nod. I use my key and let myself and Briar into my parent's apartment.
