A step even closer
Being deeply loved someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage

It was almost dawn, when she woke up and she immediately sat on the desk. She had ripped many papers, until she finally finished the letter. She had troubled herself too much, on how she should address him, or what to say. But the most difficult thing of all was the dilemma she had, if she should return his feelings or not. But deep in her heart she knew, that it was not going to take too much time to give in.

Dear Mr. Darcy
I can truly say that I am amazed sir, not from your affections, because feeling love is one of the true miracles that life can give you, but from you, from your confession. I never thought that I man like you, could ever acknowledge or even confess in that beautiful way such a passion to a mere woman.
I speak to you, as I would speak to any person, who possesses my true thoughts, for my true thoughts have spend more time with you than anyone else these past few weeks. I have been thinking about you, about you and me and how badly I had misjudged you. I truly, dear sir, regret the awful things I said to you, because they were not precise and I wish and hope that you can forgive me, for I could not bare the thought of you thinking ill of me. Please say that you are willing and can forgive me.
There is another matter that since I've known it, I have been most anxious to tell you how thankful I am. Thank you for your kindness you showed to my poor sisters, as I thank you as for all the things you've done to make me see. See of my true self, for I had been too weak not to realize how wrong I can be. But is you, and you alone, who brought me back and I would be too harsh not to praise you thus.
Maybe I should regret my appearance in your home, but I do not, not even in the most sensible corner of my heart. Because you see, my dearest sir, I now know the unsaid truth. How forgiving, gentle and kind a heart can be.
I would wish to see you again, just to see your eyes, when you would answer me if I am truly forgiven or it was just the love you feel for me that have put your bitterness away. But I am well aware that such a thing is not possible to happen, for I could not forgive myself If in any way I would cause you trouble. Your aunt was here, claiming your engagement. But that was not the thing that pained me. The things she said to me made me sad, because I know that they are true.
However, you can write to me, whenever you feel the need to. I would always be here to reply you. And do not be afraid, all those things you said to me, did not offend me in any way.
Yours,
Elizabeth Bennet

The letter reached Pemberley three days later. It was a great pleasure to Darcy, when he finally got it. He was afraid that she wasn't going to reply at all. His whole life depended upon her. Georgiana, who enjoyed that day his cheerful company and bright smiles, asked for the reason of his high spirits and Darcy, who could not longer keep to himself such a happiness revealed her the true reason. That he had finally got her reply.

"That is wonderful indeed Fitzwilliam" she replied as she touched his hand "She is not so cold to you, as you though she was."

"That is true" he said with a severe voice "but, nevertheless I haven't read the letter yet. So be patient, dear sister"
"I know that it will be promising." she laughed.

"I hope so." he paused. "Do you think that she is a good match for me?"

Georgiana with honesty, she replied "I couldn't imagine anyone, who could have tamed you better" He laughed. "But tell me, brother, why did fell in love with her in the first place?"
"Ohh" he was surprised. "Certainly, it wasn't her appearance. I even remember calling her tolerable. I believe it was her brain that attracted me."

"Then, I believe my dearest, that she is your soulmate" she laughed.

"I will visit Netherfield." she said with his severe voice.


What do you say? Do you like it at all? Please review to give me strength to continue, or maybe I will stop. Review!
I promise a longer chapter next time. I only wanted to update soon that's why it is so small, because some of you were really anxious about her response. I did disappoint you a little bit I think, but do not be afraid. Elizabeth is going to give in...
