Derek's doing that weird mood thing again. If I didn't know any better, I'd
say that Nicholas was up to something. But, if that were the case, he'd have that
look on his face, like the cat that got into the beer fridge. I've seen that look enough
times in the past few weeks to recognise it really well. Too bad Derek doesn't, it
would save him a lot of trouble. Another expression I am seeing more and more on
Nick's face is one that I used to classify as arrogance, but am now coming to realise
that it's quite the opposite. Perhaps fear, but I think maybe that's too strong a word.
It's more like a way of shutting down completely.
Mein Gott! To quote a phrase from our illustrious, if not strange, precept.
This journal is becoming more a reflection of Nick than my own feelings. Derek
would not be impressed. Well, maybe he would. He's always telling me to slow
down, think before I act. So, does this mean I'm about to act? What exactly am I
planning to do?
