The look isn't lost on Derek, but it isn't going to stop him. There's something entirely too appealing about a woman who looks like Felicity who doesn't seem to realize she looks like Felicity. Maybe it's because the lack of exuded confidence — whether real or perceived — is disarming in a way he hadn't really expected it to be. Call him curious.
It also isn't lost on him that she prefers to change the subject over answering his question. Now he's even more curious. Even with that in mind, though, Derek can take a hint. If she's ever going to tell him, she's going to do it in her own time and the first time she's meeting him isn't going to be it, he's pretty damn sure of it.
"Maybe it's just easier to bang out all of the registration stuff like this," he suggests. He wonders, too, but he's trying to tell himself that he can just take things at face value once in a while and it won't kill him.
