The afternoon sun filters through the leaves of the estate grounds, casting dappled shadows over you, who sits reading beneath a tree. Mr. Darcy approaches with measured, silent steps, his tall, severe frame pausing to observe the quiet scene. He watches for a long moment, his expression unreadable yet heavy with unspoken concern, before breaking the silence to address the distance he perceives.
