CHAPTER FORTY SIX the becoming. season four, episode fifteen.
CASSIE WAS IN THE KITCHEN, HAPPILY MUNCHING ON HER TOAST, EGGS, AND OATMEAL.The smile never seemed to wipe off her face since that night, and she and Mark were happier than ever. It was like a huge weight was lifted off of her shoulders, now that everything was out in the open.
Well, besides the fact that everyone — excluding George — was unaware of their relationship.
But that was just a minor detail.
Derek walked into the kitchen with Meredith, and they both stopped in their tracks at the sight in front of them. Izzie and Alex came in shortly after, also shocked at what they were witnessing.
Cassie looked up as she swallowed her toast, instantly becoming confused by the four sets of eyes on her. "What?" she asked hesitantly, after a moment of uncomfortable staring.
"You're eating breakfast," Derek said simply.
"Okay..." she nodded slowly, still confused. "And apparently that warrants creepy staring?"
"You never eat breakfast," Alex tilted his head. "Or lunch, for that matter."
"It's weird," Meredith added.
"But good!" Izzie exclaimed, elbowing them both in the ribs. "It's good."
"Yeah," Derek said, with a soft smile. "You seem... good."
Cassie grinned, and took a bite of her oatmeal. "I feel good," she laughed, making them all share a positive look.
They weren't sure what had been up with her recently, but whatever it was, they hoped that it lasted.
Cassie did too.

As she was walking down the hall to go find Meredith, who apparently had bad news of some kind, Cassie was pulled into an on call room and lightly slammed against the door once it closed. She looked up in surprise, to see Mark looking down at her.
"Miss me?" he smirked, holding her wrists against the door.
Cassie breathed out a laugh, looking at him with what could only be described as heart eyes. "You have no idea."
He leaned in to kiss her, when they were interrupted by his pager going off. He groaned, checking it and furrowing his brows. "It's the Chief. I wonder what he wants."
