You make me miss Sadie haha. I hope we get a scene like this in the show where Derek realizes Mark is a little more serious about Lexie than just any old one night stand. Thursday can't come soon enough.

I make myself miss her, lol. And yeah, I would like Derek to finally come to his senses and realize that this isn't just some game to Mark. He's grown up a little and he's fallen hard, and Derek just doesn't see it like that.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Awesome, elegant writing.

I love Mark and Derek's friendship - there's so much potential for exploration there; it would be nice if we could see some on the show - and you captured their dynamic beautifully. I also really liked your characterization of Mark here. As labil said, you found a balance between Mark as he has been for most of his adult life and the changes brought about with Lexie in a way that felt very real. Lovely work.

Their friendship is one of the major components that's got me sticking around as long as I have, even if what we get is sparse lately. And regarding Mark, I feel like he's only gotten harder as of late, so thank you for saying that.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
