Nora and George were leaving for the dinner.

Nora kissed Derek on the head and told him to feel better.

Casey hugged them both and said "Have fun! Derek's in good hands. I'll call if I need anything! Love you!" and they left.

Derek was lying on the couch watching the TV and coughing.

To Casey, Derek said "This is going to be a long night".

"You shouldn't strain your voice" she suggested.

"And you think I'm going to listen to you?" Derek said back to her.

She laughed and said "Yeah. Why would you do such a thing?"

A few hours went by without talking. They just watched the TV.

"Case.." said Derek.

"Yeah?" responded Casey.

"Can you get me a drink or something? I'm dying" said Derek.

"Sure" said Casey. She got up and walked into the kitchen. She wondered if he was going to be like this all night.

She got a glass and poured juice into it. She walked out of the kitchen and brought it to Derek.

He thanked her.

He drank it and then started to fall asleep.

He was passed out. Casey walked over to feel his head, just to make sure everything was okay.

He didn't feel as feverish as earlier.

She let him sleep.

He slept for an hour then he woke up.

"Hey, feeling better?" Casey asked.

"Could be better" said Derek.

"I think your fever has gone down so that's a plus" said Casey.
