Lunch is Canceled

Brayden and Meredith were joined in between their seats as they held hands riding to work together. Brayden was on his phone and Meredith was looking out the window and trying to think of other ways to make Brayden seem more social. 

That was a very difficult task considering his personality didn't exactly scream 'party' or anything. She had to think of things that made sense and would be convincing as something that he would actually do.

The Baxtons inviting Meredith and her better half over for a garden party made sense. Brayden could claim he was dragged along by his wife who was politely accepting the invitation from a client. Meredith sighed.

Brayden's sighing the day before had become contagious. Or maybe it was just the task at hand was a difficult one because Brayden was so standoffish. Meredith wondered if he was always like that. Maybe that could be the key to this conundrum they were in.
