Summary: Jane Bennet is much more perceptive than people give her credit for.


”I think Mr Darcy rather fancies you,” Jane tells Elizabeth, only to listen to her pearling laughter at that statement.

”Oh, Jane,” Liz says, reaching out to gently touch her cheek. ”You are so sweet. But no, just… no,” she says, bursting into giggles again and doing a show of wiping her eyes.

Jane thinks maybe her sister is protesting just a tad too much, but she doesn’t say anything. She waits.

”Mr Darcy proposed to me,” Elizabeth will say, months later and Jane will listen and not refer back to that moment, only smile and gasp in the appropriate places and secretly think oh, Lizzie, I told you so.

You see, at least when it comes to her sister, Jane Bennet is always right.
