Assignation at Rosings
Darcy paced back and forth in his rooms in Rosings. His stay there had been thus far… an unmitigated disaster. His aunt had insisted on being completely horrid to the love of his life at dinner, and he had no idea if he could possibly salvage the relationship in any way. He’d offended the beautiful and mercurial Elizabeth Bennet with his stumbling proposal to her, insulting everything about her when he had meant only to praise. Truly, he thought as he looked at himself in the mirror, he was a fool in every manner of the word.
He stared at his drawn face, and shook his head. How could he have thought that Miss Elizabeth would ever find him acceptable to her? He had thought that she might possibly grow into fondness for him, by virtue of the coin that came with taking his name.

“I do not wish to speak of it-“
“The girl is within your reach, you are one of the richest men in England, there is nothing you cannot have-“
“But I will not have the one who does not want me,” Darcy cut Fitzwilliam off. “She made her feelings quite clear to me, and we are to leave tomorrow. I will retire to Kent and think no more of her.”
“She will haunt your every dream, Darcy. We are almost as brothers, and I know you. You will not stop to think of her for a moment, for a fraction of a breath. You will see her in every shaped cloud upon the horizon. You are a romantic at
