Who: Merlin Larson and
Cassidy CohenWhat: The Big Day
Where: Mount Sinai, NYC
When: Early morning
With Sasha revealing in their group chat that Justin liked “happy flowers”, Merlin stopped by Lorenzo’s florist and picked up a big bunch of them to bring to Cassidy at the hospital. When he got there, she was sitting on the side of the bed in a hospital gown and robe. She looked terrified, and who could blame her? “Hey, sweetie,” he greeted her, smiling. He wrapped his free arm around her in a cuddle and gave her a kiss. “Feeling okay?”
“Pretty much as terrified as anyone can ever be. They had to give me Valium. Then Justin told me he was ill, and it distracted me, until he was all ‘Think about you, don’t worry about me.’ Now I’m worrying about him, which is a good distraction from me, because I think if I think about me, I might go nuts and get cold feet.” Cassidy paused to catch her breath because she was speaking so quickly. The flowers made her smile. “You didn’t have to do this. What did I do to deserve you? They’re beautiful.”
“Happy flowers,” Merlin said proudly, smiling while he showed them to her. “Sasha said these are what Justin likes when he’s down, so I thought they sounded perfect for you. But I can tell you more about Justin, if that will help? All you did was be you. Everyone’s thinking about you, and want to know how you go with it all.”
