"So where are we having dinner?" asked Meredith.
"Hmm well I haven't made reservations so we could see if anyone has a table or I could cook," said Derek.
"Hmm I like the first option."
"So I've seen your house but you won't see mine. I want to tell you details but I want privacy." smiled Derek.
"Fine yours but I reserve the right to come in my car," Meredith.
"Of course. Steak ok?"
She nodded
"You'll have to follow me home. Or meet me at the ferry docks. I'm on the island."
"Ferry docks. I want to change," she said.
"Meredith what are you doing," she thought.
Half hour later she was at the ferry dock and waiting on Derek. Twenty minutes later she was rewarded when he pulled up.
"We're going on the ferry. You want to car pool or go in your car?" asked Derek.
"I'll leave mine here," smiled Meredith, grabbing her bag and clothes.
Minutes later they were on the ferry.
"So you live over here?" asked Meredith.
"Yeah when I left New York. I didn't want the high city life. I went for a walk were we are going on my second day in Seattle and found some land. I feel in love with it bought and now have a trailer on it," said Derek.
"A trailer. Really? Wow. So what made you leave New York?" asked Meredith.
"Um," said Derek.
"Touchy subject?" asked Meredith.
"Yeah but if we are going to be involved you need to know," said Derek.
"Please hear the whole story before you comment and keep an open mind," said Derek.
Meredith nodded.
"About a few hours before I left New York I had been married for eleven years to a lady called Addison. Addison Montgomery, she's a neonatal/OBGYN surgeon one of the best, just in case you've heard of her. Any way one day I went home one day and something didn't feel right. As I walk up the stairs I know what I am going to see. But then I step on a jacket. Then I know that when I walk into my bedroom I'm not only going to see that my wife is cheating on me but she's cheating on me with Pete who happened to be one of our friends. We're currently at the end of the divorce, just waiting for the final papers and I want nothing to do with her ever again," said Derek.
"Thank you for telling me," said Meredith.
"Your not going to freak or run?" asked Derek.
"No running. Just warn me if she is going to turn up in Seattle," said Meredith.
"I hope she doesn't but I will if I know ahead of time," said Derek, as they head back to the car to drive to Derek's trailer.
They spend the next couple of hours eating and talking about their childhoods, Meredith's with a workaholic mother and Derek's happy childhood but no dad. As two hours turned into three Meredith started to drop off.
"Meredith. Do you want me to take you back to your car?" he asked.
"No ferries no," she muttered.
"You need sleep," he said.
"Sleep no sex," she muttered.
"Come on," he smiled, as he helped her into the trailer.
"Derek," murmured Meredith.
"Yeah?" asked Derek, from his spot on the bed next to her.
"I'm glad I'm here tonight," she mumbled, before she dropped off.
"I am too," he whispered, before he also succumbed to sleep.
