Meredith walked into the locker room of the New York County Hospital, an unmistakable smile plastered on her face.

"You look happy," noted Katie as Meredith opened her locker door.

"Too happy," growled Dr Anderson as she opened the door, her eyes a metal detector for hapiness. Meredith shrugged. Today was going to be a good day.

"Um excuse me ladies, but do you know where i might find a Dr Meredith Grey?" a handsome man asked.

"Uh...um...you would find her in...um... room 3105," the nurse replied, taken a back by the man's handsome features. As the man walked down the hallway, the nurse muttered, " Meredith Grey is one lucky woman,"

"So MR Stephens, the surgery went well and all of the tumor was removed. You are expected to make a full recovery," Meredith informed her patient. The old man nodded happily as he rasped a small, " Thank you,"

Meredith walked out of the door, glad that her shift was nearly over when she saw the one person she had wanted to see all day. Derek. He had a large bunch of red roses in hand and a MCdreamy smile plastered on his face.

"Derek..." sighed Meredith, still in awe of the roses.

"There are for you," he replied, presenting her with the flowers, " I hear red is the romantic colour and roses are beautiful, just like you,"

"Did you think of that or did the florist tell you that?" laughed Meredith, inhaling the roses's sweet scent.

"The florist, but i did think of how beautiful you and roses are,"

"Thank you,"

"Can we talk?" asked Derek.

"Um...yeah...sure.." Meredith replied, leading Derek to an empty exam room.

"Derek these are beautiful but... I am work Derek! Do you know how mad Dr Anderson would be if she saw you and these!"

"Does it look like i care?" Derek said

"No, " sighed Meredith.

"I rang Richard today," Derek said suddenly.

"You did?" squeaked Meredith. Derek nodded.

"And... they said they will have to see whether you can come back. Because as i guess you already know they have replaced you with an idiot called Matthew,"

"Did Richard actually call him an idiot?" Meredith giggled.

"Well... no. But i think he's an idot because he is standing in the way of you coming back to Seattle,"

"I see,"

Meanwhile in Seattle, Addison was trying to decide what she wanted to do with Matthew. She paced up and down her room, hoping the answer would rear its head. But it didn't. She thought. And waited. And thought some more. But no matter how hard she tried she could not draw the line between lust and love. She soon realised she didn't remember what love was. So she picked up the phone...

Meredith smiled as she stared deep into Derek's eyes. The moment was lost, however, when Derek started putting down the blinds.

"And what do you think is going to happen in here?" giggled Meredith.

"I don't know...you tell me," he muttered.

"Well..."

Before Meredith could utter anything, her lips were silenced with his kiss.
