Meredith woke up with a jolt to her phone alarm. She blinked a few times looking at the time on her phone then looked around the room in complete confusion. There was no one in the bed with her, which was normal; Brayden usually woke up before her. But she was in what looked to be a woman's bedroom, definitely not her billionaire husband's bedroom.
Meredith blinked a few more times and her yesterday began to flood to the front of her memory. She remembered how she snuck out and played hooky. She thought of herself as a bit of a rebel for that. She realized she was at her best friend, Taylor's apartment in Wicker Park and the strange bedroom she had woken up in was Taylor's roommate, Sarah's. Meredith was glad Sarah was out of town and allowed her to use her room, Meredith felt she had very much needed that small break she took. Although the aftermath to follow was far from her thoughts.
