Her phone rang pulling her from her daze. Glancing around the room for it, she finally found it on the nightstand. She looked at the ID before answering.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Meredith? Where the hell are you?"
"Danni? Is that you?"
"Yes. You said that you would be back. Where are you?"
"I'm in Seattle."
"What!" Danni squealed. "What about me?"
"What are you talking about?"
"What about me?"
"Danni, when I was still there, I collapsed and fell down some stairs. I was unconscious for a few days. When I woke, they flew me back to Seattle not knowing that I have memory loss."
"But it's better now… right?"
"No… They told me that it was 2008, not 2004… and I've been getting little bits and pieces back ever since. They can't tell me… anything because they want to see how much I can get back without help."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Are you okay? I mean is everything okay with Nana and everything?"
"No… Nana is sick, Mer."
"What do you mean?"
"She's been diagnosed with cancer."
There was silence for a few minutes. "What kind?"
"Stage three, lung cancer."
"Uh… What about you? Are you doing okay?"
"She's been talking."
"About?"
"About me finding another place to stay."
"Okay…"
"Meredith, I was supposed to be moving out there in a few days. I mean if you don't want me to now…"
"No, it's fine. You can. I just… I don't think anyone knows about you."
"They don't."
"Alright." She sighed. "Do you already have a flight?"
"You brought me one leaving Friday at six in the morning. Did you have to pick the earliest one?"
"I guess so, I wouldn't remember. Was I mad about something?"
"Probably. Anyway, try, Mer, try to remember."
"I am."
"Alright, I'll call you later."
"Alright, love you."
"Love you too."
They hung up and Meredith let her head fall to the side.
"Crap." She sighed.

"Do we still live at my mother's house?" Meredith asked Izzie after a few minutes of silence.
The truth was yes and no. Izzie and George didn't live there any longer. Meredith, Alex, and Mark did. Izzie had moved out after Denny died. And George had when he got married. After the divorce, he had saved enough money to buy an apartment near Izzie's.
"Sort of." She answered not really wanting to go any further into the topic.
"Sort of? What does that mean?"
"You do. Me and George don't."
"So I live alone?"
"No… You live with Alex." She said unsure what else to say.
"Oh… If you, um, see him… can you tell him I need to talk to him?"
Izzie nodded. "I should be going."
"Okay, I'll see you later I guess."
"Yeah."
"Bye."
Izzie waved as she walked out. "Bye."
