Disclaimer: I got nothin'
As Amy Grey walked through Seattle-Tacoma airport, she didn’t know exactly what she was getting herself into. She and her family had not had any contact with Thatcher Grey or his family since he had walked out on Ellis-and that wasn’t by their own doing, either. Thatcher had distanced himself from everyone that he knew when he pursued a life with a new woman. Not that Amy and Thatch had ever been close, per se, although Amy’s mother had been rather fond of Meredith. Which was why Maxine had sent her out to Seattle.
Amy didn’t understand why Maxine, who was no retired, couldn’t have come all the way out here instead, considering that Amy got very little time off in a year and generally wanted to spent every moment of that time with Lauren, who for the moment was staying with her father.
Amy sighed as she fished through her purse to locate her cell phone and the folded post-it note that contained Meredith’s number, which she had been too lazy to store in her cell phone’s memory. She grumbled as she dialed the number, making her way over to the baggage claim. She was almost positive that she wouldn’t even recognize Meredith if she were to see her-she hadn’t seen the younger woman since she was about five years old, which would have made it over two decades ago. It was probably a good thing that Amy was catching a cab, otherwise they would probably end up staring at each other for an hour before recognizing one another.
Predictably, the voicemail picked up. Amy knew that the schedule of a starting surgeon was considerably worse than her own. She grunted as she struggled to lift her suitcase and proceeded to leave a message.
“Hey, uh, Mer…it’s Amy. I just wanted to, you know, let you know that I just got in so um…I’ll be…checking into the hotel. Just give me a call when you can.” Amy thought it would have been to awkward if she were to stay at Ellis’ house, especially considering that she had never particularly cared for her aunt Ellis, and had actually found her to be frightening. That made it weird, also, that she had flown all the way out here to see how her cousin was doing after Ellis’ death.
Once she had arrived at the hotel, she was waiting for the elevator to arrive. As she waited, a tall redheaded woman, who was approximately her age approached behind her, though neither paid any particular attention to the other. As they entered the entered the elevator they made eye contact, and both nearly jumped out of their respective skins.
“Addison Montgomery?” Amy inquired, not believing what she was seeing.
“Oh my God, Amy Grey!” The two women embraced briefly. “I haven’t seen you since…”
“Since Mark broke up with me? Yeah. That was interesting.” Amy and Mark had done undergrad together, their relationship developing into a romantic one in their senior year, and the most serious one that Mark had ever engaged in. Amy, Mark, Derek and Addison had spent most of their breaks with one another, when they coincided as Amy and Mark had attended Harvard while Addison and Derek were at Columbia. Addison had been furious with Mark when she found out that she had broken it off with Amy and had expressed her sentiments physically on several different occasions, resulting in several bruises that he had whined about for weeks.
“So what are you doing all the way out here?”
“Oh, just visiting my cousin. And you?”
“I live…wait…cousin? Please tell me that you don’t mean Meredith Grey…” Addison pleaded.
“Well, I could tell you that, but…” The pain in Addison’s eyes was enough to confuse and concern Amy, but she wasn’t sure where their relationship stood, “okay, well, I’m not going to ask about that, but…what are you doing all the way out in Seattle?” Addison sighed.
“I’m afraid those two stories are kind of intertwined…but the short answer? I live here now. In this hotel.” Amy was utterly confused, but nodded.
“We should have dinner…you know, catch up sometime.”
“Well, what are you doing now?”
