"if you don't mind me asking where did Mary's nickname come from?" Alison asked after a short period of silence.

The two had spent the last hour in the Libary talking or well it was Ivory trying to awncer Alison's question the best she could that is. 

Ah yes the famous nickname that Lady Ivory Thomson had been calling Mary since before they were dead.

Sugar.  

It was one of those questions that all of the ghosts had asked at least once,it was the time old question of the ghost but it always hit a little to closes to home for Ivory to awncer such a question.

"hm well it started when I was 5 Mary's mother had been appointed my Mother's new Lady main and Mary became mine, we became friends quickly due to the short age gap between us I am two months older than Mary if you must know, the nickname started around the time we became 12 as I had started to sneak her the odd cake when we had high tea it was always marys favours the way her face would just light up made my heart flutter in a way I still canons describe, after that day I started to call her sugar and I guess the name stuck."ivory stopped when she saw the rest of the ghost at the door.

     

"Mary was there through everything especially when I was being wed to a man I had never met before she held me that night as I cried for what seemed like forever, she was always sweet to me and the name Sugar seemed to fit her even though more, two years later she became my son's wet nurse after he was born as my husband refused to hire more staff for the house."

The woman laughed which had stared the group.

"you know when I first showed up here it was a young girl named Anne and of course Robbin who were there when I woke up I don't quite remember where anyone else was at the time but a week later Mary showed up and Robbin for three years thought her name was sugar because that's was all I called her" she laughed Looking at mary who smiled back at her.


Alison laughed at the woman but she stopped when she saw how the two looked at each other, her eyes met with the captain who knew what she was thinking.

He had found the two sitting by the wall outside of the nurse a few years ago they were talking quietly as to not wake any of the other up but he saw it in Mary's eyes it was the same way he used to look at someone as well.

Even if the two of them never understood this feeling of love for each other, to them it didn't matter they had each other in that moment and that alone said a thousand words.

That night Alison watched from the window of her and Mike's room at ivory and Mary.

the seamed to be talking about something when Ivory stopped her had rested upon Mary's cheek as she leaned in to kiss it.

Alison thought that if she could smile more her face would rip off never had she seen Ivory pull such a bold move.

mabey there was more going on between the two of you then she or the other knew.
