I wanted you to know that I read this while at work, and I spent the whole day smiling. You turned my overly dramatic prompt into a lovely, believable story! I think it's absolutely perfect! Thank you so very much!!!

Oh, I'm so glad you liked it!! It was really fun to write, too, so, added bonus :)

Lovely!! This was like the best piece of candy in the bowl. Nice treat.

Haha, thanks so much for reading!

Wow! I loved it! I thought initially that the prompt was not very believable, but your story is lovely, and plausible, and realistically dramatic. I adored it. Especially the fact that as usually, MARY SAVED HERSELF. Of course, Matthew and the family saved her life, but she did hit Richard with all her might, she never gave up, she ran, she fell and she stood up because she's Lady Mary Effing Crawley who refuses to quit. And I loved it.

Thank you for sharing!

Aww, thank you so much! Yeah, the plot is kind of crazy, so I'm glad it came off as at least somewhat believable! I worried at first after posting that I didn't make Mary strong/sarcastic enough, but then I decided that in that situation, even the strongest girl might break down and cry a little ;)

Thanks for reading and the lovely comment!
