    Summary

    There were three things Mary knew about love.
    It was something you earned, not something freely given.
    It was often louder for others than it ever was for her.
    And it was completely unattainable for Mary Bennet.

    Summary

    There was silence now, but it was different. There were no hushed whispers. No lingering footsteps or silent prayers. There was only the sound of her breathing as it bounced off the chapel walls. 

    The sisters were lucky that the river was in the valley and Godfrey saw the raiders coming— that they were able to run.

    Mother Penelope, abbess of St. Cecily, was alone with her memories when they came.

    “A call of shame. I might… I might have chlamydia.”

    “Oh.” MY FUCKING GOD. He doesn’t say that part out loud but he thinks it very loudly. “Ok.” She’s going to be freaking out.

    “No. No, not ok. Not ok at all. We fucked!”

    “I remember.” It is absolutely top of the wank bank.

    “And not like sensible adults.”

    “I remember that too.” If felt fucking incredible.

    “So you might have chlamydia.”

    Summary

    "I want your help."

    Her eyes meet his. They're too fucking blue, dark and deep and surrounded by long, pretty lashes.

    "Help writing?" She imagines late nights standing behind him as he writes by the glow of his laptop, bending down so their cheeks hover with only warm inches of air between them. Letting her chin rest on his shoulder for a second, her nails tapping the screen. Feeling his breath hitch as she presses herself to him. She shifts in her seat and tries to pull herself together.

    He shakes his head. "No. Help with the sex."

    She laughs. It startles out of her in a bubble. "You want me to help you find someone to shag?" she asks incredulously, raking her fingers through her tangled curls (she was too hungover this morning to brush them properly).

    But Colin doesn't laugh, and his eyes don't leave hers. "No. I want to shag you." He grimaces. "I've never said that word before."
