My new fan fiction story starts at the end of the episode in Season 2 when Jack and Elizabeth have just quarreled at the Hamilton Train Station on their way back to Hope Valley. What if things had turned out differently at that point? Read on if you want to explore this storyline . . . .

Elizabeth and Jack have been married almost a year and are living in Hope Valley. Then Elizabeth receives a telegram that changes everything . . . .

Jack and Elizabeth have had many trials and tribulations as Elizabeth twice traveled back to Hamilton to attend to family matters. Jack initially travels back with Elizabeth and, upon meeting Elizabeth's wealthy family, feels the sting of their disapproval of him, especially when they promote Elizabeth's childhood friend, Charles Kensington, as a romantic rival.

It's a week after Elizabeth and Jack's first kiss, but not everything is bliss. The trial of the coal mining company has taken place, and Rosemary, Jack's former fiancée, is still around. A new teacher arrives in town. And Rosemary wants the school children to put on a play instead of attending to their regular lessons. Elizabeth thinks this is a terrible idea. Who will win?
