Madelyn stands up promising to get coffee later with Liz before leaving with Meredith

As the two girls catch up walking along the hallway they stop when they hear their names  "Shepherd, Grey" they both look into the room where the voice comes from "Uh, when you get to the wedding tomorrow, don't sit down" Bailey says

Mer and Mads quickly look at each other before sending Bailey a nod in response and continuing their previous conversation

"Lizzie's calves are a little shorter than we anticipated" Jackson explains

"Tall girl, short calves" Callie says

"So is that gonna be a problem?" Mer asks

"No, not if we just get a little more nerve from the other leg" Callie suggests

"Are you saying to..." But Madelyn is cut off by Derek

"No"

"Derek" Meredith says

"Absolutely not. No, I never liked this idea in the first place. We find another donor or we don't do it"

Mer looks at her husband "Well, we couldn't find another donor. That's why we..."

Derek stops her "Well, then we're out of luck"

Madelyn looks at her brother "Can't we just..."

"No, we can't. We're not gonna talk about this. We're not gonna float this past Lizzie. We're not cutting both her legs to remove pieces. Cancel the procedure" he demands walking out

Madelyn thanks the barista who passes the Shepherd girl her 5th coffee of the day, this time as she wraps her hand around the cup she notices a neatly folded piece of paper taped onto the side, she rips it off and unfolds it, taking a sip of her coffee a she does. That's before her eyes scan the writing and she chokes slightly on her drink.

The note reads;

Call me ;) -Lucy

Followed by a number and several hearts.

She freezes for a moment. Before April, Madelyn would've strolled back over to the barista and spent the rest of her break flirting with the woman, but honestly she's never had another woman on her mind since the redhead had caught her eye. So naturally she's taken back and struggles to find an appropriate response.

Madelyn is now a good distance away from the coffee cart so she's caught off guard when she looks back over at the barista who's eyes are glued to her. She smiles quickly raising a brow at the cute blonde and slips the note into her pocket.

As Madelyn's mind contemplates calling the number her thoughts her interrupted by a voice "I think you should bring a date to Dr. Bailey's wedding. That way we will focus on our dates and not on each other"

Madelyn looks up at April who clearly realises how close she's standing to Madelyn as she takes a couple steps back 

"Or we could just be focused on the happy couple" Madelyn replies confused by April's request
