Derek opened the front door and let Meredith in. He then slowly led her through the house, making sure to put his bag in the study. He then noticed the light on in the kitchen.

"Are you ready for this?" he asked and she gave a small nod, allowing him to then lead her towards the kitchen.

She could hear her sisters voice, and knew that she was most likely talking to the man that had been a big part of her life, the one she had just left.

"Mark i'm sure i'll be seeing her soon." she head her say, and her suspicions were confirmed.

Derek looked apologetically at Meredith knowing that she could very well do a bolt.

"It's ok." she said, and again forced a smile.

Derek sighed as he pushed open the door and looked at his wife who was sitting on the kitchen bench talking on the phone and picking at the fruit salad that she had obviously made.

He watched as she turned her head and the phone that she had pressed against her ear dropped to the bench. Derek was surprised that it hadnt fallen further.

Addie was quick to jump off of the bench and pull her sister into her arms. " oh god mer I've been so worried." she said as she held her sister tight.

................. ........................ ................... ............

Mark had heard the phone bang and was not sure what to think. That was of course until he heard Addie speak again, this time her voice seemed muffled as if she was a short distance from the phone and that was when he heard his wifes sobs. He felt his whole world go crashing around him. She truly had gone to Seattle. She truly wanted to be away from him.

He hung his end of the phone up, not being able to listen to her broken cried, and unable to fight his own.
