Daniel Shepherd had just dropped off Meredith at her work. As she left the car he plucked up the courage and asked for her number. She suddenly seemed quite shocked and by the look on her face Daniel could tell she didn't want to give him her number.

"Meredith, I had fun last night and you seem really nice. I just want to take you out, on a proper date this time. Is that okay?"

"Erm…well...okay. I'll give you my cell number because I'm hardly ever home long enough to answer the phone."

Daniel took the small bit of paper off Meredith and folded it placing it in his right hand side pocket. He leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He felt Meredith blush slightly and he smiled.

"I'll call you"

He watched her enter the building and he got back in his car and sighed. It wasn't an unhappy sigh; it was a cheery and satisfied sigh. He had just met the cutest and nicest girl he had seen in ages. The only thing that was bothering him about her was that she seemed to panic when he mentioned Derek. Maybe she was his intern and she had gotten on his wrong side or something. Daniel hadn't seen Derek in years; he actually hadn't spoken to him either. It wasn't that he had fallen out with him; it was just that work had gotten hectic for both of them and they never had enough time to just talk. He had heard from Derek once in the last year, he had phoned to say that he was moving to Seattle and that he would be working in Seattle Grace Hospital. Daniel had been curious about the reason for Derek moving but he never pushed his brother to tell him because whatever it was it seemed serious to Derek. So here he was in Seattle and he had plenty of free time. So he decided he would go and visit his brother. Just to catch up and see how things were going for him. He made a mental note not to mention Meredith's name to Derek because he didn't want the same reaction from Derek as he got from Meredith this morning. He would ask Meredith about this morning later.

"Derek, you have a visitor waiting for you at the receptionist's desk."

"Okay, thanks Olivia"

Derek headed towards the desk wondering who on earth would be here to visit him. He never got visitors which made him sound lonely but it was true. He got to the desk and was greeted by his brother with a big hug. Derek was stunned and hugged his wee brother back. He hadn't seen him for ages.

"Daniel! God, I've not seen you in ages! What are you doing here?"

"Yeah thanks bro nice to see you as well" joked Daniel

"No! Of course I'm glad to see you! Laughed Derek "It's just a bit of a surprise!"

Derek and Daniel headed to Derek's office were they could talk in peace. Since Derek had no more planned surgeries today he could relax until an emergency came along. He was hoping his brother not ask the annoying questions about why he moved to Seattle or why Addison was still living in New York until recently.

"So how's life then big bro?" Daniel asked as he sat in a large comfy chair in Derek's office.

"Uneventful, boring, dull, just the same as before" Derek answered. This was complete nonsense. But he wasn't in the mood to tell Daniel that Addison slept with his best friend, he moved to Seattle and met the most amazing girl ever who he fell in love with, and Addison moved to Seattle and Derek choose her instead of the love of his life. Daniel wouldn't understand any of this, Derek knew that. So he quickly changed the subject,

"So how's your life? What brings you here? How's work? How's Katie?"

"Wow! Too many questions there Derek! I got sacked which I know isn't good but I'm actually glad! I hated that stupid office job. I hated the people and the work. I hated everything about it! As for Katie, she's long gone. It wasn't working she moved out."

"So a lot has changed then" Derek replied after listening to Daniel explain everything that has happened to him recently.

"Yeah sure has. And I met the most amazing girl last time at some bar in this city. I know I only spent one night with her and you're thinking well how the hell could he like her already! But I do!"

Derek just nodded because he did know how it felt to like someone right away after first meeting them.

"So what's her name then?"

"Erm..."

Daniel didn't want to tell Derek Meredith's name until he had definitely spoke to Meredith about it.

"Christina"

Daniel had said the first name that had came into his head. Derek smiled.
"Christina, that's a lovely name. I bet she's really nice and I'm happy for you bro!"

"Thanks, I'm really excited about seeing her again. I'm going to take her someone really special. Just to prove to her I'm better than just a one night stand."

Derek listened to Daniel but his mind was off somewhere else. He was remembering his dates with Meredith and how he had been excited for the days that lead up to their dates. How he would always make the next date better than the one before. He missed these little details because with Addison none of that ever happened. They never had romantic dates or they never just spent time together. Derek sighed.

"Well I better get back to work! But before I go, what bar were you in?"

"I don't know, it was a local one. The bartender was called Joe I think."

Derek smiled.

"Yeah, I know that one well."

Derek left the office with thoughts of Meredith in his head while his brother stayed seated in his office with thoughts of Meredith in his head.
