usedtobeljsDrowning in work, allergy-ridden, kind of down, blah blah blah.
So let's do something different. I happened to see a meme from the 2005 Pride and Prejudice in which Lizzie says "I'm very fond of walking," to which Darcy replies, "I know."
5-minute fic on the topic of Lizzie's fondness for walking, set post-novel or film (as you please):
"They're off again," said the housekeeper, twitching a curtain back into place.
The butler and head footman looked at each other and shrugged, before turning their attention back to their tea.
The master and mistress so often escaped the house in order to stroll the Pemberley grounds that the servants expected nothing less on a sunny or partly cloudy day. Even though this afternoon a chill wind blew, it was glittering January sun, and the mad creatures must be out and doing.
.........
"Are you cold, Mr. Darcy?" said Lizzie, as they paced up a hill in the teeth of the wind.
He cast her a long-suffering look, which was reply enough. His steps, however, did not falter, and she recognized that he had positioned himself to bear the brunt of the wintry gusts.
Her hand crept into his. His long gloved fingers closed around hers. Together they climbed.
And Lizzie smiled, warmed throughout by his love.
Cheers, and may you have your own pleasures today.
