Several months have passed and Meredith has started enjoying her life in New-York. She has found good friends who helped her to settle down in the city. And since few months she dates a nice man, a doctor of course. When you work in an hospital you have so little time to go out and meet new people that you always end up with one of you co-worker, aren't you?
She is not in love, or at least not yet, but has good hopes to build a real relationship with him. He is caring and smart. She enjoys his humor; he knows how to make her smile when she doesn't want to. He even knows how to reply to her friend Cristina who is hard to match. Plus he is really handsome which doesn't ruin the thing. He simply looks like the perfect guy for her. Sure he has some flaws, like everyone. For example, he is moody in the morning and happens to forget things that sometimes mind to her. But his qualities balance his flaws, and she is okay with them.
Now she is waiting for him to finish his surgery to celebrate their six months anniversary. She is exited at the idea of going to this new restaurant that opened few weeks ago. She craved to go there and he knew it, so he reserved 2 weeks ago. She is not supposed to know they are going there but he made the mistake to tell it to Izzie, who couldn't help it to tell her. She is still supposed to act surprised, she promised Izzie, and doesn't want to ruin his surprise.
He finally comes to meet her with a smirk wavering on his face.
"We are going somewhere special tonight" he tells her as he approaches.
"I wonder where" she playfully replies with a big smile that betrays her.
"Oh no! Izzie told you, didn't she?" he says frustrated that it isn't a surprise anymore.
"She may have let it split from her mouth" she says wincing. "But the matter is that it's our anniversary and that you bring me in that great brand new place" she adds placing a kiss on his mouth to make his smile coming back again.
"You right" he says once he parts from their kiss to lead her to his car "let's go celebrate" he adds raising one eyebrow.
She smiles and tilts her head at his comment before following him to his car.
