Least Resistance?

If there was one thing that both he and Emily needed to work on. Especially when it came to their partnership.

It was communication.

Whenever there was something big going on between them. The moment that they had to address it, if it so happened, that an option came up where they could ignore the thing, and just keep moving.

Then Derek knew for a fact that he and Emily were most likely to choose the path of least resistance. Opting to ignore something. Rather than facing it head on.

The moment that Emily had arrived at the office. Derek had seen the look in her eyes, and he had realized that she was about to apologize for the kiss.

He had instantly shut her down. Holding up a hand to silence her before she could go any further. Part of it had been because they were at Haven Group.
