(The Asylum; Julia's office)
Julia is sitting at her desk writing a report when the phone rings.
(Ring, ring, ring)
Julia stops writing and answers the phone "hello, Dr. Julia Ogden's office"
"Julia, its William. I hope I didn't catch you at a bad time?"
"No, William, you didn't. Is there something I could do for you?"
"Uh, yes Julia, Mrs. Brackenreid was wondering what kind or color are the flowers going to be?"
"Oh, the flowers I completely forgot! I'm not sure William, I haven't checked the stores!"
"Julia, breath, relax. We still have 2 weeks till the wedding. How about this, I get off work at
6:00, I'll pick you up and we'll go to the flower shop and look at the flowers and then I'll treat
you to dinner at our favorite restaurant Alejandro."
"That sounds so wonderful William, thank you."
"No problem, oh there's been a murder, got to go Julia."
"Ok see you later, I love you."
"And I you, Julia."
Julia had just finished a report when she heard a knock at the door. She turns around and see her lovely fiancé in the doorway.
"William"
"Julia, we had a date remember?"
"Yes, I remember. Got distracted with a report, but it's finished."
"Good, good, so are you ready?"
"Yes just need to get my coat and hat."
"Of course"
"So how did the murder go, William?" Julia asked while putting on her coat and hat.
"We caught the guy with a full confession"
"Wow that was quick. So what happened?"
"The man found out his best friend was sleeping with his wife."
"Oh wow."
"How did he find out William?"
"He found out his wife is pregnant, and he can't have children."
"Oh, wow that must have hurt his male pride."
"It did indeed." William said
"So why can't the man father children?" Julia asked
"Oh, well let's just say the guy hurt his boys a lot."
"Oh, how so William? Or did he not tell you?"
"Oh he did. First he hurt his boys by getting it with a baseball bat and then he was made a bet
with his work buddies that he could walk along this plank that was between these two buildings.
The buildings were 50 feet high and when he was walking along one of his buddies sneezed and
that distracted him and he tripped and landed on the plank."
"Oh my." Julia laughs
"That got to hurt."
"Yes it did indeed."
"Well I am ready."
"Ok, which flower shop do you want to go to?"
"I'm not sure William? Oh um Miss Katie's Fabulous Bouquets"
"Ok, Let's go" William says and puts out his arm. They walk arm in arm and head to the
carriage. William tells the driver where there heading and they begin moving. William grabs
Julia's hand and caresses it.
"I can't believe in 2 weeks from today I'll be married to the love of my life."
"I feel the same William." William learns in and kisses her.
They arrive at the store and get out of the carriage and head in. Julia sees some beautiful
arrangement of roses, tulips and lilies.
"William what do you think of these flowers?"
"These are beautiful Julia, but they seem a bit bright colored. There all red and pink"
"I agree William."
Miss Katie greets them
"Hello Dr. Ogden"
"Julia please, Katie."
"That's Miss Katie to you, Dr. Ogden. What the hell are you doing here with him?"
"Miss Katie, seriously it has been 2 years since Darcy's death and I was innocent."
"But you were running around with him a low class detective who's catholic, shame on you.
They should have hung you anyway"
"Excuse me?" William said
"William let's go."
"Yes go and never come back."
William and Julia leave the store when William asks "Julia what was that all about?"
"Oh that. Miss Katie is a dear friend of Darcy's sister."
"Ah."
"Yes and she still hasn't forgiven me."
"I can see that. So is their flower shop, where the owner isn't mad at you?"
"Marie's Flower Shop."
"Ok let's go, Julia"
They walked to the flower shop. They enter the shop and see Marie arranging a bouquet's of
yellow roses. (Just like the ones she had for the wedding)
"William look at those flowers their perfect."
"Oh I didn't hear anyone come in, hello Julia."
"Hello Marie, I would like to introduce you to my fiancé, Detective William Murdoch."
"I heard so much about you Detective. You're even more handsome in person."
(William laughs nervously) "nice to meet you too."
"So what brings you to my shop?"
"Marie were here to buy flowers for our wedding" Julia said
"Oh yes I heard you two were getting married, congratulations."
"Thank you, Marie. I just noticed that beautiful arrangement of flowers you just made."
"Oh these yellow roses? Yes these just came in 2 days ago. Here smell them."
Julia sniffs them, so does William.
"Oh, William, their perfect for the wedding."
"When are you getting married?"
"In 2 weeks Marie" Julia responded "Oh a spring wedding! How lovely! Then I would definitely
recommend these flowers. How many will you need?"
"Oh um I haven't thought about that…um…let me see…bouquet…William needs a flower…"
Marie interrupts "how about I make sure there are extra flowers just in case."
"That sounds reasonable enough. What do you think Julia?"
"It sounds perfect, William?"
"How much Marie?" Julia asked
"Oh it's on me. Consider it as a wedding present from me."
"Oh no, we can't allow you do that for us Marie."
"Please, let me. I always wanted to see you get married. Also buying flowers from my shop
makes it even better."
"That is very kind of you Marie. Thank you."
"My pleasure. I'll have them ready for you on…what day is your wedding?"
"Oh it's on the 29th" William said
"Nice day to pick a wedding date. So I'll have the flowers ready by 2:00 on the 29th. How is that
for you?"
"That's perfect" said Julia
"I'll just put your order in right now."
"Are you sure you don't want us to pay for the flowers?" asked William
"I am sure"
"Thanks again Marie. We'll see you later"
William and Julia leave arm in arm and go to the restaurant for dinner.
