Of Neighbors and New Beginnings: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
Jae George
Blast! Fitzwilliam Darcy silently cursed, what an arrogant, conceited fool I am. And now I have betrayed my best friend and ruined a sweet and innocent young woman to whom I am now honor bound to marry. He continued to pace about the decorative folly on the hill behind his family estate as the sun began making its appearance.
He turned his attention to Jane Bennet who had finally succumbed to sleep after hours of shivering on the stone bench. He watched her huddled form, now covered from neck to toes by his great coat. Now I will forever lose Bingley as my friend and be bound to the woman he sought due to my own hubris, thinking that only I could prove her unworthy and protect my friend.
