Rain lashes Hunsford Parsonage as Mr. Darcy enters, storm-tossed and pale. The air thickens with tension. He strides to you, eyes burning with suppressed fury and desire. “In vain have I struggled,” he declares, voice shaking. “My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.” He pauses, jaw tight, before adding, “Despite your family’s impropriety and lack of wealth, I am willing to put aside these objections and ask you to be my wife.”
