I let out a yawn as I walk into the lounge. When I walk in, I see Meredith looking very dolled up.

Savannah: woah. Morning, Mer.

Meredith: morning.

Savannah: your matchmaker finally set you up with someone?

Meredith: huh?

Savannah: you never wear makeup, Mer. You only wear makeup for two reasons. You have a big presentation or you have a date, and you don't have anything important going on, so you're going on a date.

Meredith chuckles at me.

Meredith: guilty. Cece set me up. I need your advice. Am I making a mistake here?

Savannah: the only mistake you're making is trying to hold yourself back. I know it's been hard since Derek, but it's worth a shot to see what's out there. I know Derek was your big epic love story, but you deserve to dip your toe into the world. Take the chance.

Mer smiles at me as I change into my scrubs. A minute later, Amy and Maggie walk into the lounge.

Amy: Meredith. If Zola got high, you would ground her, right? Oh, hey, Savannah. If Natalie, Cathy or Shawn got high—

Savannah: I would ruin their lives if they ever laid a finger on drugs.

Maggie: look at you.

Amy: what happened? You have a funeral?

Alex walks into the room.

Alex: what's wrong with you? You look weird.

I whack Alex on the arm as he sits down.

Maggie: she's wearing makeup. She looks pretty.

Alex: why?

Maggie: oh my god, you have a date.

Amy: ah! You're doing it! Ah! You're letting Mrs. Santa Claus bring you presents!

Maggie: all I got was a lousy tree.

Savannah: a tree? From who?

Meredith: from Jeremy.

Maggie: Meredith!

I turn to Maggie.

Savannah: Jeremy? Since when did y'all start dating?

Maggie: uh...

Meredith: shortly after the game night fiasco.

Maggie: Mer!

Meredith: she's my best friend!

Savannah: oh. Okay.

Maggie: wait. You're okay with this?

Savannah: I mean, yeah. If it means you're thinking of someone other than my husband, I'm good.

Mer and Amy chuckle.

Maggie: oh, come on.

Savannah: joking, Maggie. I'm fine.

Maggie: moving on. Where are you going? Drinks? Coffee?

Meredith: lunch.

Amy: lunch? Lunch is boring. You can't make lunch last all night.

Savannah: I beg to differ.

All the girls and Alex raise their eyebrows at me.

Savannah: yeah, I'm kind of a slut for my husband. Deal with it.
