Prologue
Addison Forbes Montgomery-Sloan needed to get away. She needed to get away from New York City. She needed to get away from the sounds, smells, people, and feelings she associated with NYC.
Five years ago Addison married the man of her dreams. Mark was the bad boy with a good heart. Mark was kind and honest. He was extremely confident. Okay, so he could be an ass but he had always treated her with respect or so she thought. He was a bad boy but he was her bad boy.
But don't they always say you don't marry the bad boys? She should have listened because her bad boy had just proven that he earned his reputation.
Her bad boy with a good heart, cheated on her. He cheated on her with one of her closest friends.
Her heart was broken and she was running away. It was the cowardly thing to do but she could care less. She wanted a fresh start, and the last thing she wanted was pity.
When everyone she worked with found out Mark cheated on her they would look at her with nothing but pity. So it was time for a change.
So, that's why she was currently sitting on a plane flying out to Seattle. Her old mentor, Richard Webber, had been begging for months for her to take him up on his job offer. It was a perfect excuse.
Addison sighed and looked out the window at the dark night sky. She had no idea that this move would change her life forever.
Meanwhile…
Derek Shepherd sighed as he sat down on the porch swing of his house, and looked out over his acreage.
He watched as his dog Max tried to catch fireflies with his paws. Derek chuckled to himself.
Max was a man's best friend type of dog, and Derek loved him for it.
If it weren't for that dog, Derek would be truly alone.
Derek was one of the top neurosurgeons in the country. He was wealthy, charming, and extremely attractive. So you would think he wouldn't be a bachelor, right? Wrong, Derek was very single.
Not because he didn't want to settle down, he did. He just wanted to find the right person. Preston Burke, Derek's best friend, told him his standards were too high.
Preston told him he could have his pick of the Seattle female population, and tried his best to help Derek by setting him up with numerous women. And Derek had dated a few women here and there, nothing serious though. So after a while Preston gave up on trying to set Derek up. Derek had been relieved at this.
Derek took a long swig of his beer. He didn't think his standards were too high. And he certainly wasn't being picky. He knew what he wanted.
Derek just wanted someone to spend his life with. He wanted a woman who challenged him and loved him. He wanted someone to love unconditionally. Derek wanted someone to grow old with. Derek wanted what everyone wants. He just couldn't find it. Derek couldn't find her.
Derek stood up and yelled out to Max to come back to the house. He waited until Max was by his side before he went inside the house. Derek had no idea that a flight that had just landed at Sea-Tac would change his life forever.
