Grace knew that complicated wasn't the word when it came to her and derek. All that she was it was tense and despite ending a few months back she was still finding herself getting caught up on him

Richard is standing up on some stairs talking to a crowd of interns and doctors that are standing at the base of the stairs. Grace and Bella walks up to the crowd and stands next to Alex who is also standing there

"Listen up people. New Year, new rules or should I say New Year and we will be enforcing the rules mandated by the residency review committee. There were too many mistakes made last year. Fatigue played too big a role. Exceeding 80 hours per week will not be tolerated" Webber said

"Does that mean we actually get to have a life?" Bella asked

"I think so." Alex said

"Sullivan, you were on-call for 28 hours, leave when you hit 30. Grey and grey you were here to 2am last night, see you at noon" Webber aid as grace looked to Meredith and frowned

" I get to go? Free time?" Grace asked

"Run before he changes his mind" Alex said

"Take me with you" Bella called

Derek is standing in an elevator, reading a paper with two other nurses. The doors open and reveal Grace standing outside dressed to go home. She walks in and the two nurses leave.Grace and derek hold on look. They know the history when it comes to elevators

"Hi" Grace said as Derek looked to her putting his papers away

"Hi. You leaving?" Derek asked

"80 hour limit. You?" Grace asked

" Surgery was postponed." He said It looks like he's checking her out. He can't stop smiling and looking at her. Grace looks over at him as they make eye contact

" I have a dog. Although he's quite feral"

"You have a dog"

"My point is I have a dog"

" You have a dog. Oh you know what? I love dogs."

"I've moved on so don't give me that look" Grace said as He moves from his position against the wall and stands up close to her. Grace can almost feel his breathe on her neck

"What look?"

"That look. Our look. I'm over you." Grace said

"I'm over you too. "

" You are?" Grace asked shocked

"No."

" Oh, well I am. Over you" grace said. She didn't know who she was trying to convince. Derek or herself

"I'm over you too."

" You just said ...Shut up." Grace said as he raised his eyebrows and smirked at her

The doors open and they are both smiling at each other until they see who is standing in front of the doors. Addison. Who is by the way not looking very happy. Grace suddenly feels awkward
