fandomtownies | Covent Garden Flowers; Tuesday [03/30].

"This place," Astrid decided, announcing it to no one in particular because there wasn't anyone else in the shop when she said it, "has really gone to the birds."

The birds in the bonsai did not appreciate her joke.

But it was fine. Astrid had some Easter orders to take care of, which she felt were actually kind of fun because she liked the bright colors and the ideas of renewal and rebirth that went into them, all the little pagan hints that had been slipped into the most Christian of holidays, and it worked well to distract her from wondering just how long it would be before she heard back from Susan about that meeting with her mother.

And then she wondered if she could get any of the birds to sit still and go along with some of the arrangements, and if the canary at T&C would be jealous of her working with other birds.

You know. Typical, normal thoughts for teenagers to have about their jobs.

Covent Garden is open!
