When you're a teenager, and you hear the word marriage, most people think of happy endings.
The next morning, Mallory Shepherd and Callie Torres were standing at one of the nurse's stations when Lexie Grey walked over to them. Mallory was still insisting that Alex Karev was being secretive, and even with Callie countering most of her claims, she refused to let go of her suspicions.
"And I know you keep insisting that it's nothing, Callie, but I know him better than that," Mallory rambled to her friends. "My cheating theory may be out the window, but he's still hiding something."
Lexie's brows furrowed as she questioned. "You still haven't confronted him?"
"Why would I?" Mallory asked back in response. "So he can lie right to my face?"
"Okay, you need to stop," Callie spoke up, trying her best to be the voice of reason. "You are getting way ahead of yourself—"
And being with the love of your life forever.
Mallory only narrowed her eyes at Callie with her arms crossed against her chest, almost daring her to continue with her insistence. "Am I? Or do you know something about it?"
"You are not directing your frustrations at me. Not today," Callie countered before she turned to Lexie, changing the subject. "So, how's it going with you and Mark?"
"Now you're asking about that?" Mallory asked with a scrunched nose. "Fine, let me cover my ears."
"Shut up," Lexie told her before she explained with a sheepish smile. "Thank you so much for asking. It's great. I mean, he's fun, and he's funny. Even with the no sex allowed. I mean, we just laugh, and we talk, and yeah."
All Callie could do was nod as she added. "And now I'm reminded that I'm alone."
The second Lexie mentioned her relationship with Mark, Mallory fake gagged. With a look of disgust, Mallory retorted. "You're complaining? Wait until Derek finds out, and this somehow blows up in my face."
"Now you're just being self-centered."
"Until it blows up in my face."
"Come on, guys. I have to talk to you about this. You're the only ones who know about us, and I'm terrible at keeping secrets. Keeping secrets makes me sick," Lexie insisted before she turned to Mallory. "And you owe me one. So suck it up."
