A True woman's Worth

A Woman Worth

Meredith is having lunch and is physically talking with her friends. However, her mind is elsewhere thinking about someone else. Someone whose in a room with a bad shoulder. "Earth calling to Meredith" George said to Meredith. Meredith looks at George and then everyone else just stares at her. "What?" Meredith said to them.

"Man or something else." Christina inquires. "Nothing." Meredith tells them all.

"You're hot for the patient." Izzy said. Meredith would usually object but it's true.

"It's nothing. He's cute." Meredith adds. They just don't believe her and then they go on with other conversations. Meredith is thankful that everything doesn't revolve around her love life. Meredith takes her time with lunch and goes back upstairs. She stands in the doorway.

"I've been waiting for you" Ryan tells her. Meredith can't seem to remove the stupid look on her face. "I'm back." She replies. There's a moment of silence because they just look at each other. She does the usual check-ups. "I'm Ryan." Ryan tells her. "I'm Meredith." Meredith tells him. "Are you bored?" Meredith asks him. Ryan looks up and he's watching Sin City. "You like that." Meredith said to him. He shakes his head. "I love Kill Bill Volume One." Meredith said to him.

"Quentin fan or you hated men." Ryan said to him. "I plead the fifth." Meredith responds and then she gets beep. She pulls herself away to respond to it.

Five Hours later, Meredith is ready to go home and realizes that she doesn't want to. She goes back to Ryan's room and walks in to see him watching Runaway Bride.

"You have to get some sleep." Meredith said to him. "I love movies. It's a distraction and it helps to realize that the whole world, isn't all that bad." He turns off the television. "Are you movie buff?" Ryan asks. "It was one night where I hated men and I had a night off. Which is rare and I saw this movie called Kill Bill. I hated men and here was a movie about hating a man, it's two plus two." Meredith told him. "How long before I could go back to duty?" Ryan asked. "Weeks." Meredith replied."

Ryan is career driven just like Meredith. "You don't like being on the sidelines." Meredith said to him. Ryan just shook his head. "I know what you mean. I'm second-generation." Meredith said to him. "So am I?" Ryan responded. "What does your father think?" Meredith asks him. "He wished I became a writer because of how much I loved movies but he respects my decision." "You're parents." Ryan said. "Topic for another time and now I want you to get some sleep." Ryan stuck out his tongue and rolled over to get some sleep. Meredith leaves and as she watches Derek with Addison. Instead of scolding, she waves goodbye to him.
