Meredith walked down the long, dimly lit hallway thinking about what she would say to her best friend. Cristina would be leaving within the next two days for Minnesota, where she's planning to live until life takes her on her next journey. Meredith thought hard about what she was going to say to her friend. She'd gotten Cristina's news by text less than five minutes before. When she reached the end of the hallway and was finally staring at the closed door, she paused, took a deep breath and opened it. Cristina was sitting at a computer doing paperwork when Meredith entered.

Cristina looked up at her friend as Meredith shut the door behind her, "You 'gonna miss me?"

Meredith chuckled and replied, "Well, yeah. You'll be leaving me behind with these morons."

"I do my best to leave you in the perfect situations," Cristina smiled.

"I still can't grasp the fact that you'll be gone by Wednesday; two days and you'll be gone. All the way in Minnesota."

"We have phones, remember?"

"You hate talking on the phone!" Meredith snapped.

"I know."

"Won't be the same, right?"

"Not in the least."
