"Don't hate it until you try it," she mocked Derek and he shook his head at her, amused.
"Your crazy."
"Whatever, I'm fun," she told him before she went off to her department as Richard walked up to Derek.
"Erica Hahn, first day," Richard greeted the cardiologist as she was filling out paperwork at the desk.
"First day indeed. And a mountain of paperwork to prove it."
"Derek Shepherd you know Erica Hahn," he introduced the two surgeons as they shook hands.
