I know. You haven't disappointed me. You don't disappoint me.
[ This whole separation thing has been pretty hard on Derek, but he's not sure if he can say that - feels shitty to say I miss you when he's the one who ended the contract, both because it feels selfish and because it's validating something he doesn't want to be validated. The contract doesn't impact their relationship in any way, they're still as close a pair of friends now as they ever were, and he doesn't want to imply otherwise. He's not going to buy into the city's bullshit. Least of all out loud. To Tate. Growth, or whatever. ]
I'm okay. I guess. Better, with Stiles being back. Been kind of rough, but. You know. I'm glad to hear from you. Always am. Makes my day better.
