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 Wic

Meredith was just finishing up one of her projects when Dino walked in and rubbed against her leg. “Hey there, buddy,” Meredith smiled down at him then picked him up and placed him on her lap. “Come to check on me, have you?” Dino purred and offered a meow as he sat on Meredith’s lap looking up at her.  “Well I was just finishing up. Let’s go get you a treat.” Meredith closed up the applications she was using and put her computer to sleep before setting Dino down on the floor and leading him out of the room to his own personal haven just down the hall. She opened her Standing Wardrobe and pulled out a small plastic jar of treats. Dino began purring furiously and rubbed and head butted Meredith’s leg in anticipation for his treats. Meredith took a few treats out and placed them on the floor in front of Dino.

Meredith woke up on a cold hard floor. She blinked her eyes into focus as she sat up. She looked around and saw that she was in a large ballroom. The floor was in a black and white swirl pattern that seemed to meet just beneath where she was sitting. Meredith twisted and turned slowly in a sleepy haze trying to understand where she was.She was alone in a fairly empty room. The only thing she could see that was in the room was a small glass table a few feet away from where she sat. Slowly she lifted herself up off the floor and stood in the center of the room as she turned around twisting again as though from this angle she might be able to locate someone or some sort of clue. It was useless. All was the same as before.Meredith looked down and saw that she was wearing the red dress that Edward had sent her. She felt the cold floor against her bare feet as a ch

Meredith was still dizzy from the kiss and wasn’t paying attention as Brayden tugged her along. Her eyes were glossed over and her mind was swooning. She was at a loss for words. A loss for thoughts. Everything around her looked like it was in a glorious cloud and she felt light as a feather. She kept thinking she saw little white bunnies looking up at her as though they wanted her to follow as she let Brayden lead her by the hand to wherever their destination was. The bunnies looked like they wanted her to follow.“Greta!” Meredith snapped out of it and looked up at Brayden. “I called your name about six times. Where were you just now.” Brayden was looking at her with concern.“Sorry I was just...a little light-headed that’s all” Meredith gave Brayden a slight smile and when he didn’t look convinced she add

Meredith and Brayden were sitting at the bar in the dimly lit luxury bowling alley. There were couches set up with tables in front of the scattered in the center of the room. At the other wall was another bar that led into the back of the place where the bowling was taking place. The atmosphere was very chic and intimate. “Long Island?” Meredith raised an eyebrow at Brayden after setting her half emptied glass back down on her coaster.“Hmm?” Brayden was sipping an amaretto sour as he glanced towards Meredith.“I’ve never seen you order anything other than wine when we go out.” Meredith took another long sip of her beverage before continuing. “Even when we are at home we only have wine with dinner.”Brayden set
