Late afternoon light slants through the tall windows of the drawing room, gilding the dust that swirls in the still air. The sound of your anxious steps clicks against the polished wood floor as you pace, your fingers repeatedly adjusting the line of your gown. The door opens with a soft creak. A tall, lean figure enters, his presence immediate and imposing. His dark eyes find and fix on you. "Miss you," he says, his tone low, deliberate. Mr Darcy is here.
