#you can't always exclusively like the villains‚ sometimes you can't help but like the sweet and gentle ones too#But that's just my opinion 🤷🏻♂️🥺#Caroline Graham#midsomer murders#Midsomer Murder Mysteries#ghost in the machine#(I also still think that Benny and Carey were more than friends🤔🤔 idk just the way she thinks of her 🤔🤷🏻♂️)
