wow..just love this fiction..good work..

Alex isn't in their class? Thank you so much for this lovely fic - I really enjoyed reading it! :)

Wow, that's better than I was expecting, actually. Derek is rather lucky - I'd expected some community service at least. But I'm glad Meredith and her mom were reunited.

Ah, this explains quite a bit. I'll admit, I didn't see the fact that Meredith was lying to Derek coming at all - and Mark was actually right about that part. And Ellis is flawed but ultimately a good person...

Great job with the chapter!

Well...is there really a case if Meredith testifies, unless Ellis threatens to hurt Derek and Meredith lies on the stand to protect him? Yikes, I hope both Derek and Meredith make it through this alright...

I'm so glad Derek decided to tell Meredith - it demonstrates their high level of trust in each other and their ability to communicate with each other. Ellis, on the other hand, is acting strangely. I'm convinced there was something more to Thatcher's death now...

The two of them are adorable together. Interesting - is Ellis evil in this story? I do wonder about Ellis, though, just like Derek. It truly seems like Meredith's father wouldn't have done something like that...

I knew it! I knew they were in love with each other. Lovely chapter! :)

Wonderful chapter! This story is very well-written. :)

Amazing chapter as always! :)

I like Alex's character - he does care about Meredith. I'm glad Meredith and Derek found each other again. :)

Wait, I thought Alex was the boy Meredith dated in high school? Great job with the chapter!

Lovely chapter as always!

I believe Meredith - the fact that Ellis called her a teenager who lies is a sign to me that something was wrong at home before she ran away. And Meredith didn't need to lie to Derek since she was leaving that day...
