She signed it with a lovely, bold E at the bottom and rose to allow the ink to dry before folding the paper. It was not forward nor demanding of Mr. Darcy, only playful and lighthearted.

Elizabeth hoped he might know her feelings from the playful, unassuming note.

Her stomach knotted with anticipation of the evening ahead. Miss Dumont had laid down rules in a letter sent to each dinner guest, including those who resided at Bingley House. They were allowed one valentine each to give to the person they admired most. The note must consist only of poetry and nothing more, and they might only sign with the initial of their first name.

A knock came at her door and Elizabeth startled. She rushed to the writing desk and carefully folded her one note. On the front she swiftly wrote the initial F, the first letter of Mr. Darcy’s name, and willed her hand not to shake. Blowing upon the letter, her heart sang to know Mr. Darcy would understand her feelings by the time the evening was done.

She went to the door and found Jane outside patiently waiting. “I am sorry, my dearest sister. I had to allow the ink to dry on my valentine.”

Jane tried to spy the initial Elizabeth had written on her valentine, but her sister was quick to tuck it into her skirt pocket.

“I believe I know who may receive your valentine this night, Lizzy. Won’t you tell me or will you make me guess?” Jane attempted a pout but Elizabeth only laughed.

“You will know soon enough! We may not spoil the surprise nor give away our secrets. If my valentine is not inclined to reply in the same manner, then no one will be hurt. If they do respond in kind, then all will rejoice.”

Jane rolled her eyes. “You sound like Papa! I never could stand waiting, you know.”
