…………………………………………
Addison came home to an empty tailor that night. Today has to be one of the worst days of her life. It was the day after the prom, the day her husband brushed her off like a piece of dirt. She was tired and sick of waiting for something good to happen. She was sick of waiting for her luck to change. She scanned the cramped dining room/ kitchen and that's when she saw them. The divorce papers she had had drawn up almost a year ago now. They sat ominously on the table begging to be looked at. So she did. She slowly took the four steps from the bedroom where she was standing to the dining room table. She looked at the papers and saw that Derek had signed them. Right there on the dotted line next to Husband was Derek's messy signature. She looked above his signature to see the blank spot where she was supposed to sign. Next to the papers was a note in Derek's hand. It read:
Addison,
I signed the papers. The first time you showed me these papers you said that you would sign if I sign. I signed. I can't go on living a lie anymore Addi. You and I both know that I love Meredith. We can't go on pretending.
Regards,
Derek.
Addison sank into one of the two dining room chairs and began to sob. Her marriage was about to be over. It was the end of an era. She was about to lose her only family. She still had Mark; well she hoped she had Mark. I need to talk to someone about this. She thought. I can't just end the last twelve years of my life without talking to anyone. Addison suppressed a sigh. She then reached for hand bag that was at the door where she had carelessly thrown it earlier. She pulled out her mobile phone and began to dial the familiar number.

Mark groaned as the persistent ringing grew louder. He rolled over in bed to check the time. 4:30pm, well he was entitled to be a little annoyed he had worked the last 30 hours with no sleep.
Mark picked up the phone without looking at the caller id, assuming it was the hospital.
"Sloan," he barked.
"It's me."
Mark would know that voice anywhere even if it haunted his dreams, which come to think of it, it occasionally did.
"Addison? Why are you calling at this hour of the morning? Are you alright?" Mark knew that the reason Addison was calling was to do with Derek.
"It's over Mark. It is finally over."
"Oh. Sweetheart are you alright." Mark got up out of bed and pulled on some tracksuit pants before heading over to the light switch. He squinted as his eyes adjusted to the light.
Mark heard a sob on the other end of the line. He felt knot form in his throat. He was torn between wanting to tear Derek apart and wanting so badly to fly over to Seattle and haul Addi into his arms and just be there for her. Something that Derek never was. That's why they got together in the first place. But as soon as it happened they both knew it was a mistake, they didn't belong together. They didn't even really love each other; they were just trying to fill an emotional void that Derek had created.
"Do you want me to come over to Seattle?"
"Please," it was more of a plea than anything else. "I need someone on my side. Everyone is always on Meredith's' side. I can't fight this as a one person battle Mark. I need your help."
"Let me just tie up some loose ends here and then I'll be on the next plain to Seattle."
"Thanks," with that said she hung up, and signed the divorce papers. That was when she really started crying. The tears came and came she couldn't stop; she didn't really wanted to stop.

Meredith pulled up into Finns driveway after work. It felt surreal that he had forgiven her. She really did love him. All day all she could think about was coming home to Finn. When she was with Finn she felt loved, cared for and protected.
When Meredith entered the front door (using the key that Finn had given her just before the prom) she gasped n pure delight. The floor and table tops were covered with rose petals and on the table near the front door was a note. It read:
Meredith,
Look in the wardrobe in the bedroom.
Finn
It was a simple note but Meredith did what it said none the less and when she looked in the wardrobe there was a garment bag with another note attached.
Meredith,
Please where the dress. I will pick you up at 8.
Finn
P.S. there are shoes by the door.
Meredith quickly opened the garment bad and gave a squeal of delight when she saw the black silk dress. It was to die for. It had thin straps and a flowing skirt that reached the ground. Meredith felt beautiful. She hadn't felt that way in a very long time. After Meredith had put on the dress she quickly applied some subtle makeup and raced down stairs to try on the shoes which matched the dress perfectly.
She was just about to sit down when there was a knock on the door. Meredith's heart skipped a beat wondering who it could be. It wasn't yet 8. Meredith quickly raced to the door to open it. Standing on the other side of the door was a florist with a bunch of orchids in a light shade of pink. Meredith thanked the florist and put the flowers on the table and reached inside for the card.
Meredith,
I can't stop thinking about you. I love you.
Finn
P.S. I'll be there shortly.
Meredith held the card to her chest as she gazed down at the orchids. They were her favorite flower. Tonight was going to be amazing. She could feel it in her blood. Something special was going to happen.

Finn wiped his hands on the tissue to try and get rid of the clamminess. He was really nervous. He had no idea how Meredith was going to react to what he had done. He tapped on the glass separating him from the driver of the limo.
"Excuse me, when are we going to get there."
"We're just pulling up now, sir."
"Thank you."
Finn exited the limo and walked up to his front door and knocked. When Meredith opened the door he was absolutely speechless. She was stunning. The most beautiful creature he had ever seen. When he regained the power of speech he said "Meredith, you look stunning." He was surprised his voice sounded that normal.
"Thanks. Where are we going?"
"I am not telling. I know how much you hate surprises."
Finn took Meredith's hand a placed it in the crook of his elbow and led her to the limo.

They ate at Seattle's most prestigious restaurant. The meals were to die for but the company was even better. They were seated in a secluded area of the restaurant away from prying eyes. They had their own personal waiter as well.
After dinner and dessert Finn suggested they take a walk along the headland. When they reached there destination Meredith couldn't help but gasp as she looked around her.
"I take it that you like it?" Finn asked hopefully. Meredith nodded as she made a slow turn and took in all of it. They were surrounded by fairy lights and roses and a few candles.
"It's gorgeous. Thanks for going to so much trouble. I have had a wonderful night I wish it never has to end. I love that you went to so much trouble. I love you."
"I love you too," Finn said as he took Meredith's hand in his. He then bent and kissed the palm of her hand. As he was doing that he went down on one knee and gazed into Meredith's eyes.
"You don't realise how much I love you. You make me so happy. I want to spend the rest of my life waking up with you and going to bed with you and doing everything else with you. I love you like you wouldn't believe. Would you do me the honor of accepting my hand in marriage?" Finn produced and black velvet box and opened it to reveal and gold ring with a round cut solitaire ring. It was the most wonderful thing she had ever seen. She looked into Finns eyes and nodded. She couldn't speak; tears were welling in her eyes.
"Yes, yes, and yes" she gasped. Finns smile widened and his blue eyes sparkled. He took Meredith's left hand and slid the ring onto her finger. It was a perfect fit. He then threw his arms around her and picked her up and spun around. They were both so happy neither of them could stop laughing.
