planning to remember (so nothing will be lost in the end)
Character: Meredith (reference to Meredith/Derek); Rating: G; Prompt: Rain
Summary: Her entire world condensed into the choice she has to make. Set post episode 7.04; spoiler for that episode.
She discovers herself outside the hospital in the rain. She walked, apparently, from the lab to the wet bench she's sitting on, but trepidation swallowed the steps in between.
The sealed envelope (she made the tech lick it closed, locking the Alzheimer's question inside until - if - she's ready) curls at one damp corner as she holds it out in front of her in both hands, her entire world condensed into its contents and the choice she has to make.
Derek or herself.
It feels so much like the past. She wishes he understood how much she wants a future.
