When Mrs Hughes cancer scare was intorduced into the show I admit I was a little worried. Phyllis Logan is my favourite and I'd be gutted if she ever left. So glad it all came good. I hope my Fic does. Enjoy xxx
One Day He Will Know
I've always been a strong woman. I've never been one to share my problems. My recent health scare however shook me. The very idea that I Elsie Hughes could possibly have cancer. The fear that I may die from such a terrible disease. All those trips to see the Doctor took it out of me. I was very thankful to Mrs Patmore for being there for me. Being my friend when I really needed one. I'm sure there where times when she was becoming more hysterical than I was. I do know however that she behaved that way because she was my friend and she cared so much.
Then there was Mr Carson. He wasn't a stupid man. He knew only too well that I was keeping something from him. He could see that I was tired. That I wasn't concentrating on the job at hand. Ofcourse I knew he was concerned for me. It's true that I didn't approve of his antics when he managed to extract information out of Mrs Patmore but I now realise he did it because he cared.
The singing. That wonderful sound from his quarters after I had told him there was no trace of cancer. I've never seen a man so relieved. So happy that I was safe. Charles Carson is such a lovely man. A gentleman. Loving, caring and understanding. I look at him and think to myself if only we weren't both so stubborn and could finally tell one another how the other felt. I do love him and after everything that's happened I now know for certain that he loves me. One day. I say to myself one day. I promise myself that I will let go of all my inhabitions and tell him that I'm in love with him. One day.
