“I cannot consider such things until I am no longer married to my commission, and things are so uncertain…” his voice trailed off as if he were thinking about some lady and how such uncertainty would affect her.
“She is young.”
Richard’s head snapped up from his contemplation of the glass in his hand.
“Miss Lydia.” Darcy waited for Richard to say something, but he did not, which spoke far more loudly than any protest would have about where Richard’s thoughts and heart lay.
Leenie Brown fell in love with Jane Austen's works when she first read Sense and Sensibility followed immediately by Pride and Prejudice in her early teens. As the second of five daughters and an avid reader, she has always loved to see where her imagination takes her and to play with and write about the characters she meets along the way. In 2013, these two loves collided when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. A year later, in 2014, she began writing her own Austen-inspired stories and began publishing them in 2015. Leenie lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with her two teenage boys and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tillney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

Awww! Bless his heart. Darcy could see so much in his expression and the tone of his voice and knew who he was thinking about. Oh, the longing for peace and a good woman by his side. Is this story going to make me cry? I’ll need to make sure there are tissues close by when I read it. Thanks for this excerpt.
I love the picture of the old wine maker. Look at his face as he holds the glass up to the light. searching for cloudiness or imperfections. You can see the simple joy of his knowing that this is an excellent batch. Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad you liked both the excerpt and the picture. The use of light from that window is just fantastic in this painting. I don’t think the story will require tissues (at least not yet?) 🙂
