Phrasing Is Key

When Derek had come into Bee's diner, he had expected Emily to not be busy, for him to be able to just say what it was that he wanted to get off his chest and then see how Emily would take it.

But instead, things had not gone as he had planned. For starters, there had been the nosy group that had been there when he had come in. And then after he had grabbed Emily's wrist and asked her for some of her time so that they could talk. In had come the large group of police officers.

Derek had not liked them at all.
