If you say you were not overwhelmed by feels in Episode 78... You are a liar, my friend. Anyway, I was really intrigued by all the body language and subtle tones of voice in this particular video, and this is my take on all the things Lizzie and Darcy didn't say out loud.
How We Say "I Love You"
"Darcy!"
Panic attack.
"Lizzie."
I've missed you.
"I thought you were in L.A."
I thought you hated me.
"I'm not. I'm, uh..."
I'm sorry for what I said.
"I'm not."
"Your sister is crazy."
I'm still reeling.
"Yes."
I must be dreaming. How can you hate me if we're talking?
"I didn't mean to surprise you."
I'm so unprepared to face you.
"I'm here for a board meeting/to shadow your company."
Must. Control. Feelings. I'm here for business, and that's all.
"I was aware you are shadowing Pemberley."
I still anxiously watch your videos.
"I hope you've enjoyed your stay."
And I hope I haven't spoiled it.
"Yes. This place is amazing. Everyone has been incredibly kind."
Maybe I was wrong about you. You're acting kind, but I've been mean.
"Even my sister?"
Gigi, why do this to me? I hate cameras.
"Yes, in her own special way."
Gigi, what are you playing at? It's too late. Darcy must hate me now.
"I'm glad."
That you'll still talk to me. I'm happy that you're here.
So he doesn't hate me?
"Anyway, I have to go."
I'm so confused around you. I need to go clear my head.
"So soon?"
Oh no, I'm bothering her.
"Well, uh, I'm having dinner down by the marina."
I'd stay if I could. For some reason, I don't want to leave you.
"May I offer you a ride?"
Please don't leave me yet.
"Oh that's all right, I can walk."
I think I need to be alone for a while.
"Understood."
She must still hate me.
"I- The hills in this city can be quite unforgiving."
I looped that video again and again, just to see your face. And somewhere along the way, I memorized each line.
"I've heard. But I'd like to see the city."
I might love it here someday, but is it too late to start fresh with you?
"Well, I should..."
Stop this painful small talk. I miss you so much.
"Have a good day... Darcy."
Darcy, the robot. Darcy, the antisocial. But this Darcy in front of me… Kind. Caring. Have you changed, or have I?
"I'll see you around."
I'll be watching for you.
"If there's anything I can do to make your stay more comfortable..."
"Thank you."
For a second chance. I'm still unsure, but things have changed. And who knows? Maybe I can..
You know I still…
…love you.
So. This was written and posted on my phone and I apologize in advance for any typos. I was otherwise occupied, namely with squealing and flailing around from that arm touch. And the way he looked at her. I can't even. Asdndhfjdb.

Reviews are much appreciated.
