Patrick and Ellen have been working together for years, the only thing holding them back are their spouses.

Ellen and Patrick have been very close since the first day they met. Six months ago they became really, extremely close and what happens when someone realizes they want more. SET DURING APRIL 2007 No Twins or Stella in this story, sorry.

Ellen Pompeo is married to Chris Ivery and Patrick Dempsey is married to Jillian Fink. Neither of the couples have any children. They feel like that they have met their soulmates. Little did they know that one day when they were taking a walk in the park, their lives will change forever.

Every secret eventually makes its way out of the darkness. Theirs wasn't any different. It had been six years and that reality still stung her chest. Ellen had vowed to stop thinking about him, about what happened, but there was something about an impending apocalypse that made you reflect on your choices. The world had gone quiet but her mind felt very loud. Memories of him suddenly haunting her. Feelings she had long put to rest finding a way into her heart. She wouldn't romanticize what they had. It was messy and complicated. In some ways their relationship had to be experienced to be understood. They fought hard, and they loved hard. They challenged each other. But most of all, Patrick made her feel alive. He set her heart on fire. To even her surprise, it was that very fire that was warming her heart in the midst of the worlds turmoil. Caught in the flashbacks of a life that was once her's, Ellen must choose to push forward in the life she had built without him or find her way back to the life they could have had.

5 months after Patrick Dempsey walked out of the sets of Grey's Anatomy and Ellen Pompeo's life, they run into each other again at a wedding. Will the feelings they had always repressed explode under the resplendent, Italian sun? A Dempeo story...Co-written with Hel aka @ellenlovesellen

On a quiet afternoon in early Summer, Patrick pondered what it would be like to see her again. He had spent the last seven years waking up next to Jillian but not a day went by when he didn't wonder. With each passing year being without her hurt a little less but on any given day he could still feel her if he allowed himself. He could smell her on his skin, hear her laugh. Working with her again could provide a setback that would be impossible to recover from. That was just considering his feelings. He couldn't imagine the kind of havoc this was going to wreak on his marriage. A knock at the door broke the silence of the house and the chaos of his thoughts. It was on this Summer afternoon in Maine that Patrick's life would be changed forever. Could a knock at the door send his life spinning down another path? Or would it simply right a wrong that had been done years ago?
