Author's Note: I am sure that I am not the first person to write a Grey's Anatomy story with the premise of Isobel Stevens returning to Seattle Grace after the cascade of events that have transpired over the many seasons, during her absence. But, I figured, why not write one now? I consider this to be a mere introduction and loose outline of the story I have in mind. It is definitely going to be revolving around Alex and Izzie, but I am unsure if this will be in the completely canon category or not…
SO if anyone has any ideas that they would like to contribute, PLEASE do not be shy! Many of my other stories have died because of lack of inspiration – but you guys inspire me to write!
Enjoy this little teaser.
The forceful rain echoed against the car window. Isobel Stevens sat in her car, anxiously tapping her keys against the dashboard. It felt as though she had been stuck in this routine for hours, yet as she glanced at the time, she realized a mere seven minutes had passed. It was a short comparison to the five years she had spent away from the building she was in front of at this very moment. She thought about putting the keys back into the ignition and speeding away from Seattle Grace hospital, relinquishing the thought of reuniting with her past to someone else. Why return now? After all, she hadn't even come back after the shooting. Oftentimes, she acted like she had never even heard the news, just to halt the guilt of ignoring the people she had once spent everyday with. Besides that, Isobel Stevens had practically been living under a rock in regards to the happenings at the hospital she once knew every corner of.
Until a week ago, she had done everything in her power to start a new life away from memories that were fresh in her mind. Putting her contemplation to a halt, she slammed her keys down on the dashboard, reaching for her purse. Izzie turned the rearview mirror to face her, frantically rubbing the tired lines underneath her eyes and tucking an unruly piece of blond hair back behind her hair. She had happily let her hair grow after the cancer, almost has a reminder of the time that had passed since she had won her battle. Taking a deep breath, she stuffed her keys into her bag, and slammed the car door as she made her way to the entrance of Seattle Grace Hospital.
