In Demand
My first Downton fic... okay it's not even a fic it's a drabble. I own nothing it all belongs to Mr. Fellows ITV etc. I'm making no money (if I was Elsie and Charles would be married... *shifty eyes*)
Joe Burns... after all these years he still had a place in Elsie's heart. He was the first boy she'd really thought about seriously. But that was years ago. What did he want after all these years? Coming all the way down from Argyle wasn't some pleasure trip not for a farmer anyway. Or someone in service for that matter.
Dinner hadn't even been over when the answer came. Ivy was dead. He'd come to propose.
Without intending it Elsie said she'd think about it. He was sweet, a little red faced maybe but still the same old Joe. He would have made a good husband. She had one though. Elsie wouldn't have given up Charles for anything.
Tea and biscuits for anyone who reviews!
