“In Rob, Derek found someone who needed him to exist. It is in this existence that his passion for life is reciprocated the most by his best friend. This is precisely the kind of life he desires. And, like many other times, as far as Rob is concerned, he knows that Derek has never been someone to attach himself to things that do not give him sentimental value. The greatest, most definite, things Derek has come to appreciate throughout his time in New York are the friendships he has been able to build and keep.”
