Author’s Notes: While re-watching the Season Six opening for Grey’s Anatomy, I got inspired to write this because poor Emma keeps losing the men in her life. The quote used throughout is from the Grey’s Anatomy episodes ‘Good Mourning’ and ‘Goodbye’. I started this during the summer break from the show, so there is nothing from Season Two in here. Thanks to my wife for reading this despite the amount of feels it gave her.
