Dervish?! Dating?! In love?!

Chapter 1.

Grubbs was worried. He was concerned about his Uncle. Dervish. Dervish had always been very chatty, positive and happy after Grubbs had moved in with him. But he was changing. And Grubbs had noticed. But was it too late?

Grubbs had no plans other than talking to girls all night, and so decided to give the girls a break and follow his Uncle. It was a good job he did, because Dervish was in great, great danger…
