[ there's not a delay this time, but - the dots on screen stop and start a few times while derek tries to figure out how to... explain things. ]
We made a deal not to talk to each other about anything that happens. If I sleep with someone else, he doesn't want to hear about it. If he sleeps with someone else - I mean, you've seen how I can get. Jealous and possessive. If I knew he'd been with someone, I'd probably tear them apart. So.
It's imperfect. But it is what it is. Duplicity is a fucked up place. Sometimes you need to be with someone else, sometimes it just - happens. I get that. He gets that. As long as he doesn't... find anything out, and as long as I don't find anything out either, then - yeah. Best we can do. That being said...
I've met people here in relationships who treat everything... casually. Openly. You're still young. If you end up dating someone here, maybe you'll be okay with that.
