Meredith was very proud of her resolve. She didn't really think there was much that Brayden could have said to have changed her mind but she was curious about the details and five years didn't sound that bad but for life?. Even though she didn't think very highly of herself she wasn't willing to throw away her life to live with a spoiled bully who was trying to conquer the largest marketing company by exploiting her as an extravagant escort.
She had dreams. She thought them as simple dreams but she still had them. She wanted to travel. It didn't have to be world travel. Even just getting outside her state would be nice. And if she couldn't do that there were places she could go as a staycation. She wanted to enjoy life even if just a little bit; to collect her origami and watch her movies. She had other hobbies, or used to before she became so consumed with Chad and then consumed with trying to get over Chad.
