Forbiden Love

[Celebmornie]

Jill smiled nodding feeling somewhat hopeful now. "So he will do everything he can?" She hoped this man was as good as Jack said because she didn't want to be without Jack and she knew her parent's would get the best lawyer they could.

(sss)

[Samwise Gamgee]

Jack nodded, taking Jill by the hand, and going back into the living room. "Yeah... yeah he will. He's a good man." Jack sat back down on the sofa, leaving enough space for Jill to sit next to him. He let go of her hand and leant forward, studying the floor as if he would find the answer to a question noone else knew there.

[Celebmornie]

Jill sat down next to him resting a hand on his back for a moment before replacing it with her cheek. "It's all gonna work out...It has to." she said quietly.

[Samwise Gamgee]

Jack nodded, though he didn't really believe what Jill was saying. Things didn't have to happen, just because they said so. But he also didn't really want to say that to Jill. "It'll work out in the end," Jack said softly. He knew that soon, Michael would come, and then they would have to sort out what they needed to say, and get down to the police station, before things got too bad down there.

[Celebmornie]

Jill looked over at the clock knowing Michael would be there soon enough and sighing. She sat up considering for a moment before standing up and going into the kitchen to make some coffee and then hesitating. "Should I make some coffee or tea?" she called to him wanting to make sure she had what he liked.

[Samwise Gamgee]

Jack glanced up, towards the kitchen as Jill called out. "I think he prefers coffee," Jack replied, knowing that she probably wasn't asking about whether he wanted tea or coffee, but what Michael wanted. Jack returned his gaze back down to the floor, trying to sort out what he would say to Michael, and how they would be able to fight their case together

[Celebmornie]

Jill nods and goes back into the kitchen setting the coffee pot and turning it on. She stood there for a moment leaning against the counter her arms crossed as she realized just how serious the situation had become. She felt tears prickle in her eyes and she didn't try to hold them back, she knew that it was going to be a long and hard fight. She was willing to follow it through but she feared that Jack would see it as too much trouble and decide to just leave her.

[Samwise Gamgee]

Suddenly the doorbell rang. Jack sprang to his feet, wanting to get to the door first. He didn't look at Jill as he passed by the kitchen door, though she had her back turned to him even if he had. Jack opened the door, a fake smile appearing on his face, as he saw Michael. For one fleeting second, he thought that it might be the police again. "Come in, come in!" Jack said, still smiling.

Michael nodded in acknowledgement of Jack, stepping into the house, taking it all in. He had come here many times before, but it always seemed to be slightly different every time... either pieces of furniture had been moved, or pictures. He smiled at Jack, still not knowing much of what had happened, and what needed to happen. "How has it been, Jack?" Michael asked, more out of politeness than real interest

[Celebmornie]

Jill jumped as the door bell rang and as she heard Jack walk by she quickly wiped her tears before moving to the doorway. She looked out and studied Michael for a moment not sure if she should make herself known or wait. She figured Jack would call when he wanted her so she went to get out cups and everything needed for coffee.

[Samwise Gamgee]

Jack and Michael spoke politely for a couple of moments, but the conversation soon drifted away to an awkward silence. "You obviously can guess that we need some help?" Jack said, wondering where Jill was. He though she would've come out, would've already introduced herself to Michael. It wasn't like her to hide away. "Jill!" He called.

Michael looked suspiciously at Jack, wondering who the we was Jack was talking to. His frown deepened as he heard Jack call out the name 'Jill'. He didn't quite know what he was getting into here..

(Sss... and sorry it took so long...)

[Celebmornie]

Jill heard Jack call and made her way to the door and towards the men smiling politely. "Hello, Sorry I was getting coffee ready." she said stopping to stand next to Jack. She held out her hand to Michael. "Sorry, I seem to have forgotten my manners. My name is Jill." she said her smile slightly nervous.

[Samwise Gamgee]

Michael glanced at Jack worringly, as this young woman walked out to greet him. Surely the woman looked younger than her actual age.. at least Michael hoped that that was the case. Suddenly, Michael realised that there was an awkward silence and that the woman was holding her hand out for Michael to shake. He forced a smile on his face, and firmly took Jill's hand in his own, and shook it. "Hello, very nice to meet you," Michael said, "Michael."

Jack smiled worriedly as he watched Michael and Jill leave. He saw the flash of suspicion and concern on Michael's face for a moment, and hoped that Jill hadn't seen. He also hoped that Michael wouldn't back out of this at the last moment

[Celebmornie]

Jill smiled and shook his hand before letting go and clearing her throat. She felt nervous with Michael and had seen his look, she hoped he wouldn't refuse to help. "I'm just going to go finish with the coffee...want me to bring it to the living room?" she asked turning to Jack.

[Samwise Gamgee]

Jack nodded, smiling. As Jill walked out, he turned back to face Michael. "You're worried aren't you?" Jack asked. As Michael nodded slowly, Jack's smile grew wider still. "Don't worry, you will soon understand what is happening." Jack led Michael into the living room, motioning for him to sit down. "I think we should maybe just wait for Jill to come back in before I say anything... I might get things wrong." Jack said

[Celebmornie]

Jill finished with the coffee and brought it into the living room on a tray she had found, along with milk and sugar. She set it down on the table and smiled. "Started talking yet?" she asked sitting next to Jack.
