So um what did Collins just witness. Let's see his reaction.

*Collins P.O.V*

Well, what do we have here? 'Colin now develops a grin so sinful; he already knows how to interfere with the two'. As I walk up to them, Mary gives me an anxious look. But she sits up with an inviting smile, and waves me over. As I walk over, I'm still thinking about what he said to Mary. Then I see him take her hand and release quickly, if there thinking I didn't see that, they are very wrong. Dickon and Mary seem anxious as well began to converse what was happening in the garden this year. Every time one of them becomes really anxious the other will discreetly touch the other either in the leg, arm or hand. Then I noticed a personality change, they seem more comfortable and confident just at the others touch. It is for sure that Mary feels the same for Dickon, besides Dickon said he loved Mary too as in also which means Mary probably had said she loved him before I walked in.

I think back to that day in the garden almost a year ago today, when Dickon supposedly fixed Mary's corset for her, and all kinds of indecent thoughts filled my head, and a pang stabbed at my heart. I would have to observe more there actions apart and together, to see if they really care for each other in the way they have confessed.

It's hard to observe them over the next week until Mary leaves, because when im in the garden they stand apart, as if they are purposely hiding the relationship 'if there be any' from me. But it's the little gestures I noticed most. When Dickon offers Mary a hand from the ground, or when Mary gently wipes the dirt off Dickson face as he works. Then on Mary's last day they go to the garden alone, early in the morning. Something in me says to leave them alone, but my curiosity gets the best of me.

When I enter the garden Mary is on the swing and Dick on is pushing her neither of them see me come in or watch them with a smirk on my face from a ways away. I can just hear bits of there conversation. It sounds like Mary I worried, she's worried I might have seen them and make a fit over it, and worried my father will kill Dickon. That one is strange, why my father would kill Dickon is still unclear to me until Dickon responds.

"Why 'ood thy uncle kill me for doin t' reet thin, by askin for thy 'an'?" I heard him ask. So this was serious, he was gonna ask for her hand. I was unsure of how I felt about this, they seemed very happy but as I backed out of the garden my blood boiled. I thought of working myself into a fit just to see their reaction, but what would that prove other then I'm still the selfish little brat on was when I was ten. I'm not or at least I don't think I am. Mary leaves for england tomorrow and then I can question Dick on on the matter before I leave in a few days.

And that's it I hope you enjoyed these first two chapters because knowing mw this will never get updated again… Jk I'm already working on the next chapter, and the next chapters for H2O don't worry.
