Valet & Housemaid {John♥Anna} Downton Abbey #1: Because I think I would love you, however, whatever, whenever
#1



Appreciation Thread





Mr John Bates comes to Downton Abbey, an old friend of the resident Lord Crawley. His presence is not welcomed by all in the household - upstairs by the family, or downstairs by the staff. Mr Bates lives with an injured leg and everyone presumes he will be unable to fulfull his duties as a Valet. Everyone... except Anna.

Anna Smith is the head housemaid for the aristocratic Crawley's when she meets Mr Bates. There is an instant compassion for the injured newcomer, leading to a tentative friendship. Compassion turns to admiration. Admiration to love. Anna falls in love with John's courage, his quiet kindness and his tenacity in the face of adversity.

But despite their mutual regard, shy smiles, longing looks and whispered conversations, their blossoming love is threatened by secrets from his past...

Because I so longed for a glimpse of you
Because it wont be long now
Because you are a lady to me, and i never knew a finer one
Because i love you Mr. Bates
Because I know what real love is and there aren´t many who can say that
Because I’ll never love again like I love him, ever
I know you, Anna Smith, and I love you
Because I never thought I could be as happy as I am at this moment
