Chapter 56

After the close of work, instead of going home, Michael decided to go visit Derek's parents to check on them and make sure everything was still going according to plan.

"Thank you, dear. You've always been such a good nephew, Michael. I hope you're going to have dinner with us before you leave?" she asked and Michael smiled.

go see what is going on in the kitchen," she said as she excused herself.
