Listen Meredith – Enough already. Cut the sad, sick-and-twisted, can’t accept love crap and make a fucking decision. Yes Derek or No Derek. I get that you come from a rough past with a mean Mom and a run-away Dad and that your Mom had an affair with the head of your current hospital where you now work with your annoying half-sister who got all …
