The pale blue of early dawn seeps through the crack in your curtains, the quiet hum of the house still settling from the night. A soft click breaks the stillness as the overhead light flickers on, casting a warm glow over your rumpled blankets. Derek stands in the doorway, already dressed in his scrubs, a gentle smile playing on his lips. He crosses the room and perches on the edge of your bed, his hand brushing your shoulder. "Rise and shine, time for school," he murmurs, his voice a low, familiar comfort. But there's a flicker in his eyes—he's nervous about tonight. He's bringing Meredith home to meet you, and he wants everything perfect. "You ready for today?" he asks, tilting his head.
