[For Meredith] These few doubts disserve me.

It wasn't like George wasn't aware of his faults. He knew he was a coward when it came to important stuff, and he knew it was way past time to tell Izzie the truth about certain things. She deserved to know; making excuses about it being too much for her to take at the moment could only last so long.

George could only last so long with something

In those moments when Meredith actually stopped to think about it, she found it annoying that she had so much time on her hands, that she was so often home, that her life had changed this much. More often than not, though, she didn't think about it anymore. This was how things were now, a hell of lot better than they used to be, no matter the faults she could find. She could pick at anything until it fell apart anyway.

It was a relief even so, hearing someone at the door, and it didn't take her long to come over and open it (even if that part, the part where they knocked now, was still weird even for her. Necessary, but weird). "George, hi," she said, stepping back to let him in. "What's up?"

"I have to tell her," George said as he walked in past Meredith, not even bothering with pleasantries or small talk. He spun around to face Meredith, eyes wide. "I mean, I should, right? I can't keep not telling her, it's like I'm not telling her every single time we talk, which is every single day and I think I'm going kinda crazy not telling her."

That he was talking about Izzie was something George trusted and expected Meredith to understand.

Meredith just closed the door and let George prattle on, nodding as she followed after him though she hadn't quite grasped what he was talking about yet. After a few moments, she made the intuitive leap, mouth opening as she took a deep breath, a kind of silent oh.

"Izzie?" she asked, just to be sure, because unless George had decided to start in on something she knew nothing about - possible, but she was guessing not - there were only so many options. "You mean about the two of you...?" The vague, circular gesture she made with one hand was somehow supposed to indicate their relationship.

George nodded, looking at Meredith as though he expected her to come up with some answer that would make everything seem clearer, even though he knew that wasn't going to happen.

"Yeah, that."
