yes i think that sounds perfect! i could see merrin being like "okay this one is going to work" and then immediately is like "oh fuck no it's not" but still hangs on for the rid anyway! i love the idea of it being super intense and then falling apart just as quickly, and merrin would have the audacity to be upset about it even though she knew it was coming/knew she wasn't ready anyway. and maybe now they could be reconnecting as friends?
