"I… I did it," she mumbled, standing up to look at the three. "I can't believe it… but I finally did it!"
Meredith felt a surge of pride swell up from within her. With her heart pumping in amusement and at the same time excitement, her face flushed pink from how happy she is, sharing her achievement with Atlas, Marcus and Austin.
"I did it!"
"You did," Austin said, a proud smile on his face. "Your mother if she saw you would be so proud that you came this far with your quick progress."
"Oh… my mother…" she didn't know why, but tears started forming in her eyes. "You're right. If she's here, she surely would have said the same, right?"
"She will," Austin replied, giving a tap on her shoulder. "And as your mentor, I am proud of you."
Meredith looked at Atlas and Marcus next. With a smile on their faces, Atlas pulled her into a big embrace, proud of his woman.
"I'm proud of you, Meredith. So proud of you."
