CHAPTER 15

　　Coming out of the walk-in closet, all dressed up for bed, Derik saw his wife, Victoria, sitting at the edge of their bed, deep in thought.?

　　He sighed, then went to sit beside her. She had not been herself since Colton broke the news to them.

　　"Hey!" He whispered, placing his hand on hers and giving it a light squeeze.?

　　Victoria looked her husband in the eye. "Where have I gone wrong?"?

　　"What do you mean?" He asked.

　　"Colton. I think I saw a different side of him today."?

　　"He has always been obedient, he never fails to make us proud, he respects us as his parents, he respects our opinions, and even when he doesn't agree, he respectfully disagrees and gives us reasons why he's right."?

　　"He's just been so different since his breakup with Tina. I began to fear that he was going to end up lonely which was why I agreed to his marriage to Natasha."?
