Forbidden: A Downton Abbey Fanfic

Planning

Back at Blodwen's bakery, the next day.

Thomas POV
"Come on Danny help me plan." Daniel's sister, Blodwen insisted.

She seemed nice enough, only having just met her, I couldn't make any solid judgements.

" No. Bloddie. I'm tired." He rolled over on the bed, since being moved from the clinic to the bakery.

" Oh please." She knelt by the bed to plead with him.

He turned his head in my direction, "Thomas can help you." When she turned, he mouthed a quick sorry to me.

" Oh yes. I can help." I grinned at my boyfriend's sister.

" Oh that would be great. Thank you Thomas. " She picked up her belongings and we walked out to the sitting area.

I could see a rushed thank you from Danny as I exited the room.

" So we must start with the flowers. " Blodwen said before I had even sat down.

I sat in the cushioned chair and then looked at Blodwen.

" I was thinking something not very extravagant, but still tasteful. Maybe daisies? " She wrote a few things down on a pad of paper.

" Daisies are nice, but what about lilies?" I suggested.

" Lilies are my favorite flower, but they're much too expensive." She sighed.

"I know somewhere to get them cheaper, if you'd like." I offered.

" I wouldn't want to trouble you. "

" It's no trouble at all, Blodwen. "

"Thank you, Thomas. You are so sweet." She gave me a thankful look.

" What are we going to do for a venue for the wedding?" I asked.

" I really don't know how to plan these sorts of things." She confessed, sheepishly.

" I attended Lady Mary's wedding so I know a few things from Downton. " I looked over the papers she had set out.

"What are you going to do for a dress?" I asked as a follow-up.

"I'm wearing my mother's dress. I'll have to make adjustments of course, but I don't exactly have money for anything grand." She pushed a hair behind her ear.

"I'm sure it will look lovely." My lips twisted into a smile.

"How are you and Danny?" She casually added into the conversation.

"What do you mean?" I asked, puzzled.

"Do you love him?" She dropped her papers and set her arm on the table.

" Yes. I love him with all of my heart." I responded, genuine.

" Doesn't it bother you that you can't truly be together? " She frowned.

" Yes, all of the time, but Danny taught me that as long as we love each other then it doesn't matter. "

"That sounds like something Danny would say."

" So what next?" I flashed a genuine smile.

Heyhey. What do ya say, I didn't really feel inspired to write a chapter today. Sry. So here's a cute little filler chapter.
