She got ready for work with every fiber in her being, believing that when she finally arrived at Haven Group headquarters and saw Derek, she would pull him aside and have a talk with him.

"Derek, I know that it is hard. But I think that it would be in our best interest to add one more week to our abstaining from each other,"
