“I’ve no idea,” I say honestly. “Educate me now.”

“Oh it’s going to take longer than a car ride back to your place. You need to watch the show. You need to feel all the emotions. Have your heart pulled apart by Meredith and Derek. Have it put back again by Cristina being your person. Scream out loud because George…” She trails off, but I can’t take my eyes off her face. It’s animated. Alive. Beautiful. “I can’t spoil it for you. You need to experience it yourself.”

“How many episodes are there?” I ask.

“Um, there’s like eighteen seasons.”

I lift a brow. “How many episodes per season?”

“I don’t know. Around twenty or twenty-five.”

I do the math. “You’re talking around four hundred episodes.”

“I guess.” She pulls her bottom lip between her teeth. I can’t take my eyes off it. “It’s worth it though.”

“Okay then. Let’s do it.”

She tips her head to the side, her mouth curling up. “What?”

“If I’m going to watch all those episodes, I want to do it with you. We’ll buddy watch it.”

“When?” There’s a smile playing on her lips.

“Tomorrow night?”

“How do you know I’m not doing something tomorrow night?” she asks me.

“Are you?” My voice comes out rougher than I expect.

“No. Apparently I’m watching season one ofGrey’s Anatomywith you.”

I remind myself to cancel tomorrow night’s business meeting in DC. “Good. Let’s video call at the same time. That way I can ask you any questions I might have.”

“You’re not going to be one of those annoying people who talks through the show, are you?” she asks me skeptically.

“No. I just want to see you while we watch.”

She blushes. “You do?”

“Yeah I do. Is that okay?”

“Yes it’s okay.” She nods. “I think.”

Good. Well I’m glad we’ve settled that.

CHAPTERTHIRTEEN

SOPHIE

It’s Friday and we’re all frantically trying to get everything done before we all head out to celebrate Madison’s birthday. A few of us have gotten together and bought her an afternoon at a beauty salon – where she is right now being pampered and getting ready – so I’m trying to do her work and mine.

It doesn’t stop me from getting distracted when I see an email pop up on my screen though.
