Addison stood at the entrance to the ER watching Cristina move Meredith to her next patient, watched her friend lifelessly stitching up drunks in the ER. She walked over and stood beside Meredith. She watched as Meredith finished stitching up the guys arm and then lightly tapped her on the shoulder.

'Meri?' Meredith looked up, and smiled half heartedly at Addie.

'Ok let's do the next one!
