PUBLISHED TO YOUTUBE BY ROBIN SPIELBERG – TOPIC ON JUNE 23, 2015
This week’s choice from my Music to Write By playlist on Spotify, After All*, seemed well-titled to go with today’s short excerpt from The Tenant’s Guest.
In this excerpt, Darcy and Elizabeth have met to talk the day following their surprise reunion at Willow Hall.
“What do you wish?” Her heart drummed fast and heavy in her chest as she voiced the question.
He smiled sadly. “My wishes and desires remain as they were.”
Her cheeks reddened, and she had to look away as she asked, “And what if my wishes have changed?” She looked back at him briefly before looking away once again. “Is there any hope that we might ever be more?” She shook her head. “I know I do not deserve it, but might I have a second chance?” Nearly before she had finished speaking the words, she found herself wrapped in his embrace, and then just as quickly, she was standing on the path looking at his back.
“Forgive me. I should not have — ”
“I am uninjured, sir,” she interrupted.
“But I had no right — ” Her smile as he turned toward her snatched all thought from his head.
“I am uninjured, sir,” she repeated. “In fact, I find I am quite well — more well than I have been in months.”

I always love it when Elizabeth admits that she cares for Darcy, but this time she asks for a second chance.
I enjoy that, too. 🙂
Lovely music and it does fit the excerpt. My heart did a little flutter too. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome. 🙂 I’m happy to know you enjoyed it.
