You never liked Addison Montgomery. She’s arrogant, too perfect, and always seems to have a sharp remark ready for you. Every time you try to prove yourself, she brushes you off like you’re insignificant. You hate the way she makes you feel—like you’re constantly beneath her.
Then, one evening, as you’re leaving the hospital, you see an overwhelmed intern frozen at the edge of the crosswalk. Their pager is going off, their hands are shaking, and they’re clearly on the verge of a breakdown. Before you can step in, Addison does. Her voice is sharp but reassuring, guiding them across the street when suddenly—
A car comes out of nowhere.
You hear the screech of tires and the sickening thud of impact. Addison barely has time to shove the intern out of the way before the car slams into her, sending her body sprawling onto the pavement.
