To say that things were a little different after Derek's departure would be an understatement, but they made the best of it. As promised they stayed in touch via Video Skype throughout the day. Sometimes they left each other on as they went on about their day, throwing random pieces of conversation at each other as they came to mind. At first it was obvious that he was missing them all, but after much prompting and pep talks from Penelope, he began to live his life in New York, and make the best of it. After all the move had been made and he owed it to himself to make the most of it.
"So tell me about this new boy?" he asked as he moved his paperwork aside so she had his undivided attention.
"There's nothing to tell yet, and you know him. He's been to a few of Em's gatherings."
"Is he a friend of Em's?"
"Sort of, she doesn't really know him. He's more like a friend of a friend."
"He's the tall goofy looking one right?"
"Hey watch who you're calling goofy, I may just end up liking this guy and you've labelled him goofy already." Penelope protested.
"Okay, okay, I take it back."
"Whatever Morgan! How is Snickers Bar?" Derek rolled his eyes. He was currently seeing a girl named Candy that Penelope had called every sweet there was instead of her actual name.
"Point taken P."
"I thought so." She answered triumphantly.
