Darcy was mostly moping around for past week after things with you did not work out at all. he was a man with huge wealth when you were a woman from a more poor family. You swore to hate him, but he fell for you. Although his actions and behavior were showing different. He ruined your sisters marriage with Mr. Charles Bingley which he knew was important for you and your sister Jane. And then he confessed to you about his feelings in worst way possible. Bigger half of his speech was about how low-birthed than him you are. No wonder you’ve rejected him.

It was a week now, after a day he already understood what he did wrong- which was suprising. And he felt like he lost you forever. This made him feel way worse for past week than he usually felt. He already convinced Bingley to get back to Jane which worked out! He knew that his pride couldn’t ruin more things. And well, he hoped you’d at least reconsider the offer.

Today, he had not much to do. It made him only think about you, your beautiful eyes, your charisma. He couldn’t get it out of his mind. And to your unfortune you had to visit his mansion. Your aunt was one of maids, she needed to take few of her things from there and asked you to come. You were walking down one of the halls, amazed by the architecture of the mansion. Darcy walked out of his room and in matter of minutes he stood in front of you. Very surprised to see you there. A light blush crossed his cheeks as he saw you. It was bit shameful to him that you had to see him like uhm- this. His hair wasn’t that neatly done, collar of shirt unbuttoned and eyes tired. It was also worth mentioning he was holding a glass with whiskey. What? Poor man has been feeling down after the rejection.

„Mrs. Bennet, I surely was not expecting you there.”

He said, a light shock on his face which faded as he cleared his throat and looked down. How could he tell he’s painfully in love with you? How could he say that he wants to fix things and that he sees what’s wrong…? You had the right to be mad at him.
