Meredith arrived at Madison Square Gardens just before game time. She entered through the private gates, and wanted to see Martin before game time. She walked the long hall to the locker room. Fortunately, the Devils' had not left the room yet; she asked one of the trainers if she could see him. He verified her identification, and invited her into the locker room. Once she was in the room, she spotted him immediately and walked over.
M:So? Should I set up here – or do you want a private dance?
Br:Meredith? He walked up to her and picked her up in a bear hug. It's great to see you, I didn't think that I would see you until after, how did you get down here?
M:Oh, I have my connections. Smiling at him, I just wanted to say hi and let you know that I will be watching. Is Ashley here yet?
Br:Yeah, she can't wait to see you. She's sitting with the boys and my mom.
M:Are we still on for later?
Br:Yes! My mom is going to take the kids home so that we can go out later.
M:Great! I will see you after the game; she gives him a kiss on the cheek and walks out of the room.
Brodeur goes back to dressing and preparing for the game while Meredith makes her way upstairs to the private boxes. Once upstairs, Meredith greets Richard with a kiss on his cheek smiling.
R:What has you smiling young lady?
M:I went down to the locker room to see Brodeur before coming up here. It was good to see him, it's been a while.
R:Well, I'm glad. He's been a good friend to you. Him and Ashley. How are the kids?
M:They are good, they are here at the game, his mom is taking them home after so that we can go out. Is your new hot shot doctor here?
