At the beach
"If I go back but you don't, I'll miss you." – Meredith
"You'll be okay, Meredith. You will. You will be okay." – Andrew
"I have to go." – Andrew
"Okay." – Meredith
And then he left. Andrew left. And she let him leave because letting him go was the only thing she could do... Letting him rest in peace.
This was only the setup... The story starts with the next chapter...
This fanfic is based on episode 7 and 8 (of season 17)... And in this story Mer will have an awareness/feeling of what happened on the beach, but she won't know in detail.
And I also started a fanfic (I would have missed you) with a happy ending for Merluca! :)
