Episode 135: Uncertain journey home

Some time later. Almost two weeks had passed. Two weeks filled with activity. Orlando spoke with Tessa and Alexander about the proposal, which they agreed to, and immediately afterwards called Bella. She and Mortimer, of course, also had to consider how everything would work at their home. But they quickly found solutions and agreed to the whole thing as well.

Dr. Nix also got things moving. In Pleasantview, he contacted the local hospital and a home care service that handles such cases and supports families whose loved ones are in a coma or need assistance due to another serious tragedy. Checkups, medication reviews, wound care if needed. Nothing would be lacking.

Everything was prepared, and time simply flew by. Finally, the day arrived when they were to go home, and they all met up one last time at the accommodation. "Well, on Robin's behalf, we would like to thank you all again most sincerely. For your support, for your friendship, and above all, for being able to help him so quickly. We sincerely hope that he recovers at home."

"Yes, we hope so too. He's a really great boy and hopefully he'll be back to his old self soon. We'll think of him every day." / "Thank you so much." / "Besides, he still has Alex, so nothing can go wrong, right?" / "Yes, that's true." / It was slowly time to say goodbye. Everyone got a hug and a few kind words were exchanged…

"Take care, it'll all work out, I believe in it. And maybe we'll see each other again sometime." / "Yeah, that would be cool, you're really okay, and hopefully things are going well now, but only with that one person, you hear?" / "Yeah, of course, something like that definitely won't happen to me again, she's great." /… Tristan and Alexander are very close musically, and also as friends now.

“I’d also like to thank you again, Marigold, for everything you’ve done for us these past few weeks.” The conversations helped me a lot.”/“And I’m glad that you’ve gained strength now. I wish you all the best, especially for the birth.”/ “Thank you.” The men have also become good friends with each other. Although saying goodbye was generally a little difficult, everyone is also looking forward to going home.

"Oh, Alex, I'm really going to miss you, and especially your music. You're really great, and I really hope Robin can sing that song someday. Thanks for playing it for us and reading the lyrics. You two make a great couple." / "Thanks. I'll send you a demo tape when we've recorded it." / "Hehe, that would be great. Have a safe trip home."

Alice also came by to say goodbye. "I know, I really should have contacted you more often…" said Alexander, lowering his gaze with a slight smile. "It's okay. I know everything now. I wish you and him all the best, okay?" / "Thanks, we can certainly use that." Even though the circumstances were anything but pleasant, Alexander was glad that the game of hide-and-seek was finally over.

Orlando and his wife were waiting in front of the house. "That young man is taking a long time." / "He has to say goodbye, honey. I hope the hospital gives us everything we need for the drive; it'll take us over six hours because of the huge traffic jam." / "It should clear up soon. I hope the ambulance can follow me." / "They have the address, don't they?".

The day is already almost summer-like. Together, they drove back to the hospital to help with packing. Tessa was allowed to ride in the ambulance, and Alexander rode with Orlando in his car. Who knows, maybe the change of scenery will trigger something in Robin—see you again soon in Pleasantview.

*sigh* I hate admitting this, I really do, but I make it so obvious. Bailey Swain is my favorite premade.
