Second readthrough and I know why I like this so much--able to be lovelorn and "wry"ly self-reflective about it is so very Elizabeth!

Thanks so much! It's tricky to try to see into her mind at this point, because her feelings seem to change so subtly and incrementally. So I wanted to create a bit of an "Aha" moment for her -- but still keep her personality recognizable. I'm glad you thought it was. :-)

Thank you! I hope you didn't mind my borrowing your sitting-in-the-window motif. :-) You did such great things with it, but I wanted to be sure not to plagiarize you or anything!
