Summary
Update: I have added a new Chapter 1 (beginning of the story), which takes place at Leo's 10th birthday. Notes at the end of the chapter.
Set in a Heybourne, post-series universe, this story is unapologetically focused on Alexander and Leo. Other canon and some original characters appear, but Xander and Leo's relationship is at the center. I tagged @GatHeart's #DrabbletOberFest, because, without that inspiration, this work wouldn't exist (thank you, @GatHeart!). However, I must confess up front that this seven-chapter collection of father-daughter moments is in no way a drabble! I meant to, really I did, but it mushroomed.
I have enjoyed all of your #Heybourne works, but haven't felt the inspiration to join in before, so thank you, @GatHeart, for the challenge and the prompt, AC as A+ Dad. That was what kicked this whole thing off. I have interacted as a Guest (CR) to comment on some of your wonderful works, but this is my first foray into writing a fanfic of my own.
Many thanks to @BilberryLane for her perceptive thoughts, support, and kindness.
This story is complete. I am doing little edits on each chapter and will post every couple of days to put the whole thing up in the next week or so.

Summary
This Drabblissimo is another #DrabbleOberFest entry.
At almost 5,000 words, I suggest you snuggle up with your favorite libation.
I seem to be on a 'Charlotte and Alexander to the Rescue' kick. This fic follows canon so far as canon goes. It takes place at the end of S3E4 and the beginning of S3E5, when it is discovered that Augusta and Edward have eloped.
I have kept what dialogue appears between the pertinent characters and filled out the scenes that are 'missing' from our view.
It also seemed to provide an opportunity for a missing and very necessary conversation between our favorite lovers.
Obviously, the characters and show dialogue are not my own.

Summary
“Something You Wished to Tell Me” is a late-Season-3 alteration that explores what might have happened if Charlotte had found the courage to speak—and Alexander, the courage to try again. A blend of missing scenes, altering his/her POV, and emotional reckoning, this story picks up just before the wedding-that-wasn’t and carries through to a new ending that stays canon-compliant… except when it doesn’t.
Told with alternating perspectives (and a touch of girl talk), this is a story of misunderstandings laid bare, agency reclaimed, and two people finally choosing each other—fully, freely, and without fear.
Written for #30DaysOfHeybourne, with love.
