The most fascinating thing that happens during “Hyper-Mediation in New Media” is what the camera doesn’t manage to catch on film.
Lizzie probably won’t ever be able to explain why, but she seeks him out afterwards.
Her keys are heavy in her hand, her weight shifting from left to right as she fidgets just outside his office door. Darcy’s back is to her, and she watches him for a moment, takes in the straight line of his spine, the hardness of his shoulders. He has nice shoulders, Lizzie thinks, but then rolls her eyes at herself because those are the sorts of things she should not think about Darcy. Those are the types of things she is actively trying not to think about Darcy. But the newsboy hat sits proudly on top of the files on his desk, and Lizzie can’t quite explain why, but the sight of it throws her. The whole past forty minutes with him has thrown her, and later, when this has ended as horribly as she assumes it will, she’ll blame it entirely on that. On him. On the way he unhinges her so effortlessly.
