Hi Hearties,
Sorry it's taken a little while to update. I decided to write a 'school room' chapter so this one has a little less focus on J&E. Never fear though as I think I will have two more chapters up over the next couple days! My hubby has said he's heading down south for the long weekend and will take our daughter so I will have all weekend to write fic! Also, it's a public holiday here on Monday (in Western Australia) so I will get to see Jack's return on Mountie Monday (on Amazon)! So excited!
Happy reading Hearties.
Chapter 40
Jack walked in through Abigail's kitchen door with Tilly in his arms just as Abigail returned from the dining room.
"Good morning Abigail." He said greeting her with a smile.
"Good morning Jack." She replied, before looking down at Tilly in his arms. "How is my little Angel this morning?"
"I'm good Auntie." Tilly replied with a big grin on her face, she was happy to see her Auntie Abigail.
"She's great, we had less tears when leaving Mummy at school this morning." He informed her as he knew Abigail was aware that Tilly had been very clingy with Elizabeth lately.
"That's great news." Abigail said as Jack placed Tilly in her arms. "So you've come to spend the morning with me Miss Tilly."
"Mummy's at schoo." Tilly informed Abigail.
"Yes, and Daddy's going to work."
Tilly frowned, she knew whenever she saw her Father in his red serge it meant he was heading off to work but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
"I will come pick you up this afternoon, then we will go pick up Mummy from school." Jack said, informing his daughter.
Tilly nodded, still looking a little sombre at the thought of being without either of her parents.
"How would you like to bake a cake with me?" Abigail suggested, hoping to cheer her up and distract her from her worries.
"Yes Auntie." She replied excitedly.
"I will see you later sweet pea." Jack said to his daughter as he placed a kiss on top of her head.
"Bye Daddy." She replied as she gave him a sweet smile.
"Thank you Abigail, I'll see you later."
"You're more than welcome, I love having her here."
Jack nodded and then made his way out of the kitchen door and headed off to work.
"So, can you help me put this flour in the sifter here Tilly?" Abigail asked her.
Tilly eagerly nodded her head and she grabbed the cup full of flour from Abigail. She dumped it into the sifter, making a puff of flour fly through the air.
Tilly laughed as the flour hit her face.
"You remind me of your Mother." Abigail said laughing as she noticed the flour over Tilly's face and through her hair.
"Mummy?"
"Yes. You probably wouldn't know this but there was once a time when your Mummy couldn't cook."
"Mummy can cook." Tilly insisted, defending her Mother.
"Yes, she's wonderful cook. But when Mummy first came to Hope Valley she couldn't cook."
Tilly gave Abigail a questioning look and Abigail decided to continue with a story while Tilly ran her hands playfully through the flour that was now covering the kitchen table.
"Once your Mummy didn't even know how to crack an egg." Abigail said picking up an egg to put into the cake mixture.
"Mummy makes me egg and toast."
"You had that for breakfast today?"
Tilly nodded as she clapped her hands together and watched the flour float through the air.
"Your Mummy is a very good cook now. I'm sure she makes lots of wonderful things for you."
"Birfday cake."
"It is your Birthday soon, you're going to be two aren't you?" Abigail asked, and Tilly eagerly nodded. "Is Mummy's going to make you a cake?"
"Yes." Tilly replied excitedly.
"You know there was once a time when your Mummy made a very flat cake."
"Mummy make me a BIG cake!" Tilly emphasized.
"Yes, she can make big wonderful cakes, but once she couldn't, she made a cake that didn't rise and go big."
Tilly listened as she continued to play with the flour on the table.
"There was a cake auction, that's when people try to buy cakes they like." Abigail tried to explain in simple terms but wasn't sure Tilly would understand anyway. "But your Daddy was quite persistent on winning your Mummy's cake, so although her cake was small, it ended up selling for a lot of money."
"Daddy likes Mummy's cake?"
"He does, but this time another man ended up getting the cake."
Tilly frowned not entirely understanding.
"Mummy make Daddy a cake now."
"Yes, I'm sure she saves all her cakes for you and Daddy now."
Tilly nodded, feeling quite pleased.
"Now, how about we get you cleaned up before I put this cake in the oven." Abigail suggested as she picked the little girl up and took her over to the sink to get her cleaned up.
Over at the school house
Elizabeth walked through the school house as she handed out the results of her student's science projects.
"I can't see." Anna said to Robert who was sitting in front of her.
Anna and Hattie had decided to sit in the row behind Robert and Cody that day, and the taller boys were blocking her view of the blackboard. "I can't see over your curls Robert."
Robert swung around in his seat and gave her an annoyed look.
"What? It's true." Anna said, defensively.
"Then you should have sat in your usual spot. You also shouldn't say things like that, you know Mrs Thornton teaches us to always be kind."
"We're not meant to lie either. I'm just pointing out the truth." Anna insisted.
Elizabeth noticed the altercation across the room and went over to find out what was going on.
"What's going on here?"
"I can't see the board." Anna complained.
"Anna said she doesn't like my hair." Robert said, trying to defend himself.
"I didn't say that!" Anna argued back.
"Alright that's enough. Anna if you can't see the board you can come and sit in your usual seat. Actually, you can all sit in your usual places." Elizabeth said in a calm but stern manner.
The children quickly got up and changed places before sitting back down on the pews.
"Thank you." Elizabeth said. She was about to question Anna further, but Anna spoke up before she was able to.
"Sorry Robert, I didn't mean to imply you had bad hair." Anna replied.
"It's ok. I don't like my curly hair anyway." Robert replied with a sigh, feeling dismayed.
"There's nothing wrong with curly hair Robert, you've seen my hair can be quite curly to." Elizabeth said trying to compliment him as she realised how disheartened he appeared.
"Yes, but your hair is pretty Mrs Thornton." Robert said looking up at her, and he smiled as he noticed how fond of her hair he was.
Cody gave him a slight nudge in the side with his elbow, and the smile quickly departed from Robert's lips. He sat up straighter, trying to compose himself in front of everyone.
"That's sweet of you Robert." She said giving him a small smile. "You should be thankful for the hair God has given you though."
"I guess it isn't so bad having curly hair." Robert replied, starting to warm to the idea of having curly hair like his teacher.
Elizabeth placed her hand on his shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze for reassurance before she made her way back to the front of the classroom.
Cody noticed a smile return to his friend's face, and perceived that Robert had a new-found interest in their teacher and it annoyed him. Cody had always looked up to Mrs Thornton from the first day he had met her. He knew she was not only important to him because she was his much-admired teacher, but also because she was his Mother's best friend and Mountie Jack's wife. Roberts new found interest in their teacher made Cody irate, and he glared over at his friend.
Robert quickly looked away and pretended as if nothing had happened.
"What did you get for your project?" Robert asked Cody, trying to distract him.
"A B minus." Cody replied, slightly disappointed.
"That's not so bad." Robert said.
"What did you get?" Cody asked quietly, hoping Mrs Thornton wouldn't hear them talking in class.
"An A+" Robert said proudly.
"What!?"
"I guess Mrs Thornton likes me more than she does you." Robert bragged.
"Mrs Thornton would only give grades according to what students deserve." Cody said knowingly
"Well that's good, because I must have deserved an A+ then."
Anger continued to rise up inside of Cody after hearing Robert's accusations. "What is with you today anyway?" Cody questioned, his angered words starting to get the better of him.
"What do you mean?"
"You're acting all strange around Mrs Thornton."
"I am not." Robert said, his cheeks blushing.
"Do you have a crush on Mrs Thornton?"
Robert was silent, not sure what to say next. He knew that lies were never the best option, he'd already learned that lesson from experience.
Cody laughed, and Robert gave him a nudge in the side.
"Hey!"
"You deserved it." Robert said, feeling angry now that his best friend was amused at the sudden realisation of his crush on their teacher.
"You take that back." Cody insisted, standing up and moving away from Robert.
Elizabeth looked up as she noticed another altercation starting and she rushed over to the boys.
"I will not!" Robert said as he shoved Cody away from him, and out towards the aisle of the school room.
"Boys, you stop this this instant!" Elizabeth said, raising her voice.
Cody went to shove Robert back but as he held his arm back he felt a bang on his elbow.
He swung around and saw Mrs Thornton wincing and covering her right eye.
"I'm so sorry Mrs Thornton!" Cody exclaimed, feeling instantly remorseful, the fight with Robert now entirely forgotten.
"Now tell me what this was all about. It's the least you can do." Elizabeth asked as she continued to feel around her eye as she started to wonder how bad the injury was.
Cody and Robert looked at each other, starting to feel guilty and apologetic towards their teacher and each other.
"Please Mrs Thornton, don't make us tell you." Robert pleaded, the last thing he wanted to do was to let her know of his interest in her.
"That is not an option Robert. This issue between the two of you needs to be sorted."
Cody looked over at Robert and waited. He knew that it would be better for Robert himself to admit what this was all about.
Robert couldn't bring himself to talk so Cody decided to take the leap and start.
"Robert was bragging about his grade and insisted that you liked him best. I then accused him of having a crush on you and he got angry at me."
"Oh." Elizabeth said surprised, not sure how she was going to approach this discussion.
She noticed the rest of the classroom was silent and all their eyes were on the three of them.
"Cody, Robert you stay here. The rest of the class you are dismissed for recess."
The children all filed out as Elizabeth waited for the students to exit as Robert and Cody took a seat back on the pew.
The two boys occasionally looked over at each other awkwardly as they waited for an expected punishment to unfold. They knew Mrs Thornton was fair, but the unknown consequences were daunting.
"I thought you boys were best friends?" Elizabeth started as she sat down on the pew next to them.
"We are." They replied in unison.
"Do you see Mrs Stanton and I fighting like this?"
"Of course not!" They said, feeling shocked at the thought.
"Then you realise what a mistake this was then?"
"Yes." The boys agreed, their heads down as they felt ashamed at what had happened.
"Cody, could you please go and get some ice for a cold compress from your Mother at the Café?"
"For your eye?" Cody asked guiltily, and Elizabeth nodded. "Mum will want to know why I want a compress…"
"She will… and you will explain to her, won't you Cody?"
Cody sadly nodded his head.
"Also let her know I'm alright and I'll talk to her later."
"Yes Mrs Thornton."
"You may be dismissed but come straight back."
Cody nodded and then hurried off.
"Robert…" Elizabeth said, trying to get his attention. She'd noticed the whole time they had been sitting on the pew he had been avoiding eye contact.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to make you discuss everything that went on here."
Robert nodded, and she continued.
"You're a good boy Robert. I know you will learn a lesson here, but there's one thing you and Cody are going to need to learn quickly now that you are teenagers."
"What's that Mrs Thornton?"
"Never let a lady, or a girl for that matter, come between your friendship."
Robert nodded and gave his teacher a small smile as he understood what she was telling him.
"And Cody will learn the same, but I hope you realise why he came to my defence today?"
"Because Cody respects you like we all do." Robert started. "and his Mum is your best friend, and I guess he was standing up for Mountie Jack too since you are his wife." Robert admitted.
"You're an insightful boy Robert."
"I do respect you too Mrs Thornton."
"I know you do Robert, and I'm flattered, but I hope you learnt a lesson from all this."
"I did."
Cody then came running into the school room with some ice wrapped in a cloth and he handed it to his teacher.
"Thank you Cody." She said as she held it up to the side of her eye, so she was still able to see.
"You may be dismissed Robert." Elizabeth informed him.
Robert nodded and then quietly made his way out of the school room.
"Elizabeth." Abigail said hurrying into the school room, concern apparent in her voice.
"Abigail you really didn't need to come by, I'll be fine." Elizabeth insisted. "Where is Tilly?" She asked, worrying more about her daughter than herself.
"She's fine, Clara is taking care of her." Abigail informed her. "I'm worried about you Elizabeth, you don't look fine." She said trying to inspect her friends eye as best she could.
Elizabeth winced as she moved the cold compress to another area near her eye.
"I'm really sorry Mrs Thornton." Cody said apologizing, he truly felt terrible for what had happened.
"I want to know what got into you for this to happen?" Abigail insisted, feeling shocked that Cody could do such a thing to her best friend, while also feeling guilt ridden herself that something like this could happen to Elizabeth.
"It was an accident Abigail, although Cody and Robert weren't entirely faultless."
"I really am sorry." Cody said looking at his teacher. "I only meant to stand up for you, but instead I ended up hurting you."
"Cody I think you should explain all this to me and explain quickly." Abigail exclaimed.
"If you don't mind Abigail. I'd like to try sort this out." Elizabeth said, her voice much calmer than her friends.
"Of course." Abigail replied, her own voice now calming after hearing Elizabeth speak.
"Cody, I think I have a pretty good idea of what happened now." Elizabeth started, and Cody nodded silently. "You were disappointed in your grade in comparison to Robert's correct?" She asked, and he nodded again.
"And you were also angry at Robert because you finally realised he has… been showing a little too much interest in me lately." Elizabeth said, not entirely sure how to explain herself.
"You already knew Robert had a crush on you?"
"I'm surprised you didn't sooner, after all, he is your best friend." Elizabeth replied honestly.
"I guess I haven't been a very good friend to Robert lately." Cody replied.
"That wasn't the lesson I was hoping you'd learn from this initially, but it sounds like a good one. You know what I want you boys to learn from this though, and I've already told Robert."
"That I shouldn't fight with my best friend? Even if it means trying to stand up for you, or any other girl?"
Elizabeth nodded.
"I'm honoured that you'd stand up for me Cody, but there is never a legitimate reason for using your fists to solve a problem."
"I know, I'm sorry I let my emotions get out of control."
"I'm thankful you're sorry Cody, but I also think you have someone else to apologise to."
"Robert?"
"Yes, and your Mum."
Cody looked up at his Mother, his face still guilt ridden.
"I'm sorry Mum." Cody said in all honesty.
Abigail opened her arms and he went over a gave her a hug.
"And I am really sorry Mrs Thornton." He said, wincing as he looked at the injury he had caused to his teacher. "Mountie Jack isn't going to put me in jail when he finds out what I did to you is he?" Cody said, worry apparent in his voice.
"No he won't, but it wouldn't surprise me if he wanted to have a little talk with you." Elizabeth said, hiding her smile and trying not to make Cody feel worse than he already was.
Cody nodded.
"Don't worry, you know Mountie Jack is a fair man." Elizabeth said, trying to console him.
"He is, but I injured you. I would think a punishment would be quite considerable in this instance."
"I'll make sure he's aware that it was an accident."
"Thank you Mrs Thornton."
"I'll go call in the rest of the class, you take your seat." Elizabeth informed him.
Cody sat down as Abigail and Elizabeth walked down the aisle and exited the Church.
Elizabeth stood at the top of the stairs with Abigail at her side and she looked out at the children playing.
"Will you manage the rest of the day here at the school?" Abigail asked with concern.
"To tell you the truth, I'm in quite a bit of pain. I think I might dismiss the class and head over to the infirmary."
"Oh Elizabeth, I'm so sorry."
"It's not your fault, I know Cody is a good boy, so is Robert. Things just got out of hand. At the end of the day I know the both of them had my wellbeing at hand."
"I know you're right, but this can't allow them to get off scot-free."
"No, but I think they've learned their lesson, and if it appears they haven't, I'm sure Jack will deal with it."
The two women shared a laugh as they wondered what Jack was going to think about all of this.
Elizabeth winced as she realised that laughing was causing her injury further pain.
"Let's dismiss these children and I'll walk you over to the infirmary." Abigail suggested.
Abigail headed into the school house to get Cody while Elizabeth went and got the cow bell off her desk.
Elizabeth then returned to the school house steps and rang the cow bell before informing all the children they were dismissed for the day.
"Mrs Thornton why do you always use a cow bell instead of a school bell like you did at the Saloon?" Emily asked as she passed her to gather her lunch pail before leaving for the day.
"Well…" She started, not sure what she should admit to Emily. "Mountie Jack gave the cow bell to me on the first day of school here at the Church."
"Oh." Emily said giggling as she understood. "Because he built you the Church?"
"He built this Church and school house for all of us."
"He did, but I don't think he would have done it if it wasn't for you." Emily grinned.
Emily then hurried inside to collect her things, much to Elizabeth's relief. She then smiled to herself as she was reminded as to how it was even possible she had this beautiful building to teach in, and how so many other important events in her life had happened right here.
"Alright let's go." Abigail said, breaking Elizabeth out of her reverie.
After all the children finished exiting the building, Abigail shut the door behind her. "You Mister, can go straight home and do your home-work." She said to Cody.
"Yes Mum." Cody solemnly replied as the three of them headed towards the town.
At the Infirmary
Abigail opened the front door to the infirmary and allowed Elizabeth to enter.
Faith seeing Elizabeth with the cold compress held up to her eye, hurried over to Elizabeth's side.
"What's happened here?" Faith asked with concern, as she ushered Elizabeth over to the nearby bed.
Elizabeth sat down on the edge of the bed before removing the compress from her head, allowing Faith to view her wound.
"Since you're in good hands now I'll leave you to it, I should get back to Tilly." Abigail said, as Elizabeth nodded in agreement.
Elizabeth winced as nodding caused her head to ache.
"You want me to get Jack?" Abigail asked.
"Yes. Thank you." Elizabeth replied.
Abigail headed back out onto the street and left Faith to attend to her friend.
"The good news is you won't need stitches." Faith informed her.
"There wasn't much blood, so I'm not surprised. There is bad news though?"
"You've got yourself a real shiner coming up, and by the way you're reacting to pain from slight movement, I think you need to take it easy and get as much rest as you can for the next few days."
"I understand, it's not the first time I've had one of these. Though I have to admit, I think this one is a little worse than my last."
"With most women I'd be a little cautious about asking this question, however I don't feel I need to worry so much about Jack, but I still need to ask. How did this happen?"
"Oh… well… Cody and Robert started a fight and I got in the way."
"It's happened before though?"
"When I first arrived in Hope Valley, well it was Coal Valley then. I had another altercation between two students. I really should have known better this time, I never expected it from these two boys though."
Faith applied some disinfectant lotion to the small cut at the side of Elizabeth's eye before obtaining a new cold compress and handing it to Elizabeth to hold up to the injured site.
"Well I'm glad to hear it was all an accident."
"You didn't think it was Jack that did this did you? I mean I know Abigail brought me in here but…"
"Oh, of course I know Jack wouldn't do such a thing. You understand it's my job to ask though." Faith said, feeling awful as she noticed Elizabeth's need to defend her husband.
"I do understand." Elizabeth replied, feeling more relieved that Faith believed her and she didn't need to continue defending Jack.
"I'm sorry I had to ask, and for putting you in such an awkward position." Faith replied.
"It's fine."
"You don't look fine." Jack said as he hurried in the front door of the Infirmary and made his way over to Elizabeth's side.
"Are you alright?" He asked, concern apparent in his voice as he placed his hand on the small of his wife's back while visually trying to examine her injury.
"I'll be fine Jack." Elizabeth insisted.
She cautiously removed the cold compress from her eye, so he could inspect the site.
"Sweetheart, are you sure?" He said noticing the slight swelling and purple colouring of the area around her eye.
He ever so gently tried to touch it with his finger, but held back as he noticed her wince before his finger even came in contact.
"Sorry." He whispered as he resisted the urge to touch her.
"Elizabeth will be fine, she just needs to rest." Faith assured him. "There's not much more I can do here though so I'll leave you to it. You can stay as long as you need, just shut the door behind you as I will be heading over to the Mercantile."
"Thank you Faith." Jack informed her.
Elizabeth and Faith shared a smile and then Faith made her way out of the Infirmary.
"Are you really alright Bella?" Jack asked, sounding extremely concerned.
"I will be, I'm surprised you're so worried. After all, this isn't the first shiner you've seen me with."
"Of course I'm concerned about you Elizabeth, I love you." He started as he encouraged her to place the cold compress back over the offending area. "The last time I saw you like this was a very different time in our lives, and although you may not have believed it at the time, I certainly was concerned for you back then."
"Well you sure didn't let me know."
Jack sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed next to her before starting to explain himself.
"No I didn't, I was still hung up about losing my position at Cape Fullerton because your Father had me sent here."
"But aren't you so glad he did now?" She said, leaning into his side and he wrapped his arm around her back.
He noticed the tone of her voice and how soft and innocent it sounded as she pleaded to hear his answer, even though he was aware she already knew what his answer was.
"You have no idea how glad." He said placing a gentle kiss on her lips as he pulled her a little closer as he tightened his hold on her. She relaxed as she felt his lips on hers, and momentarily forgot about the pain she was experiencing. "You'll have to remind me to thank your Father for that one day."
"He may not have been very thankful a few years ago, but I think he's quite pleased about the fact it was him that sent you to me now." Elizabeth reminded him, and Jack nodded as he knew William had certainly accepted him into the family since just before their wedding.
"So, are you going to tell me how this happened?" Jack asked, wondering how she managed to injure herself.
"You mean who."
"Who!?" Jack asked in shock, now fuming at the realisation that someone may have purposely caused harm to his wife. "So who was it? Tell me who it was, I'll take them in now." He replied, ready to head out and arrest whoever it was that had injured his wife.
"Jack…" She said softly trying to calm him down as she noticed him automatically spring into Mountie mode. "I don't need a Mountie right now, I only need my husband." She said taking one of his hands and giving it a squeeze.
"Alright." He said, slightly relaxing. "But please can you tell me who did this to you?"
"Cody…"
"Cody?" He asked surprised.
"It was an accident. Please go easy on him Jack."
"How did this happen?"
"It's a long story, but Robert and Cody were arguing, and Cody's elbow came into contact with my eye." She winced, partly from pain but also from seeing the reaction on Jack's face.
"I need to speak to those boys."
"They're expecting you to, but I need to tell you something else…"
"Alright." Jack said, waiting to hear her side of the story.
"Cody was trying to defend me when it happened."
"Defend you?" He asked surprised.
"Robert's had a little crush on me for a while now." Elizabeth started as she waited to see Jack's reaction. She noticed his amusement as a little smirk appear on his face. "I was going to say something to you last week, but I forgot all about it."
Jack nodded as he continued to listen.
"Cody came to the realisation that Robert had a crush on me, and Robert had already riled him up about some other matters. So in my defence, Cody went to shove Robert, and that's when he came in contact with my eye instead."
Jack being much more concerned with Elizabeth's injuries decided to put the happenings aside and deal with them later. He wasn't impressed with the boy's actions, but he'd deal with that later, for now his main focus was on his wife.
"I'll speak with them tomorrow" He told her.
"You know that letting them sit on it till tomorrow is going to cause them some grief." Elizabeth reminded him.
"That's part of the plan. In the mean-time, I'm sure it will encourage them to do some serious thinking." Jack said, taking her hand and holding it up to his chest. "Don't worry, I'll go easy on them. I'm sure they've likely already learnt their lesson."
Elizabeth nodded, placing her trust in Jack, knowing he'd say the right things to the boys.
Jack knew that he didn't really need to speak to the boys, and that they'd likely already learnt their lesson. He was aware of how much those boys, and all of the students for that matter, respected Elizabeth. That said however, Elizabeth was his wife, and he felt it was his sense of purpose to say something to them, not just as a Mountie, but as her husband.
"You ready to go?" Jack asked her.
She nodded and reached out for his hand and intertwined her fingers with his.
"Let's go pick up Matilda, then I'm taking you home to rest."
"You don't need to go back to work?" Elizabeth queried him.
"Not today. Bill will take care of things."
Elizabeth gave Jack a smile upon hearing his words. She hadn't wanted to worry him, so hadn't told him that she had a headache and was feeling rather sore. When she'd heard his words however, relief washed over her as she had worries about having to walk home alone and look after their daughter.
They walked out of the Infirmary together. Jack noticed a pained expression on her face, and Elizabeth realised her cover was blown.
"Elizabeth…" He asked, his voice gentle and rooted with concern.
She knew she couldn't hide it from him any longer and she sighed.
"I'm a little sore, I'm sure once I lie down I'll feel better."
"A little?" He asked, stopping so he could look into her face.
"Alright maybe more than a little."
"I'll take you to Abigail's, you can rest there while I go pick up a wagon from the livery alright?"
Elizabeth nodded, knowing that she wouldn't fair well if she had to make the long walk back home.
He kissed her gently on the temple on her injury free side and smiled. She then followed his lead up the main road to Abigail's.
A/N Hope you enjoyed this although it went off on a different path. I actually planned this scene with Robert and Cody before seeing last weeks episode so you may be surprised with the direction it took in my fic. Season 5 doesn't exist in this 'fic world however'. I still also do have plans to write a courtship fic at some point. The plan is to write a short fic that starts from the continuation of Elizabeth's first horse riding lesson in S2 ep1. I hope to get onto it sometime in the near future. I will however have another chapter or two up of this fic before Sunday night (US time) Please let me know if you enjoyed this chapter, constructive criticism is also welcome. As long as it's constructive, I've had intrusive replies about characters and cast members of our beloved show and they will not be accepted!
Thank you for reading :)
