    Summary

    He looked out toward the sea. "I thought it better not to intrude by presuming your notice after--" he faltered, then said with effort, "after all that has passed between us. I believed it would be unwelcome."

    "Is it your habit," she asked with the faintest smile, "to determine a lady's preferences without consultation?"

    This was not the right thing to say, bringing up those things they would both rather forget. His expression shifted--perhaps embarrassment, perhaps frustration. "I did not mean to offend."

    "No?" She arched an eyebrow. "Then you do it quite by accident, sir."

    ***

    The summer after Mr. Darcy's disasturous proposal, Elizabeth encounters him at the seaside instead of at his home after her travel plans change unexpectedly. There, she discovers the pleasures of both the seaside and the man she unexpectedly shares it with.

    Summary

    When Lizzy Bennet pretended to her new coworkers that she had a boyfriend, it was only to get Will Collins off her back. When she pretended that boyfriend was Darcy, well, it's just that she panicked and his was the only name that popped into her head.

    Sure, she hated the guy and usually made no secret of that fact, but she wouldn't make a big deal of the ruse at work. It would fizzle out in a week or two, and Darcy would never find out, so no harm would be done.

    Right?

    Summary

    To her chagrin, Darcy wastes no time to come back with: “You think I’m hot?”

    The car feels suddenly claustrophobic. “You’re infuriating, is what I think.”

    “For the record,” he adds with an edge she can’t quite decipher, “I think you’re very attractive as well.”

     
    The first time you have sex with a man you're supposed to hate, you could probably call it an accident. After the second, you might still argue that it's not something you plan to make a habit of. But Lizzie's running out of excuses, at this point.

    And sure. Maybe she's okay with that. She's not great at relationships anyway, and this means nothing, right?

    Summary

    Everything that I do is for the good of this family, Ma always tells her, and each word stacks up like a printed list of expenses. The extra fees that are accrued from school, the worn mementos that clutter their rooms, the humble house that shrinks around them all. All the myriad costs of raising another body from your own.

    Jiang Yanli learns a little about loving herself.
