Christian walked Meredith home every night that week. They had come to the agreement that Meredith would call him Christian when outside of the office because as he put it 'It didn't sound right to not use first names.'
They had leisurely strolled the few blocks to Meredith's apartment each night while they talked about nothing in particular. Most of the conversation revolved around Meredith. Her likes and dislikes, how she grew up, then came the question about past relationships.
Meredith side stepped it one night but the following evening he asked again so she in turn asked him.
"How about your past relationships? What were they like?"
"I had one serious relationship that lasted five years and the rest were casual. I prefer the casual thing personally. My last relationship was with my secretary."
