Jane's thoughts in the missing moment of when she is traveling to Tom in London.
Prompts: Always for 10iloveyou
After the confessions of their mutual feelings in the gardens of Lady Gresham, Jane immediately wrote to her sister and told her all that had transpired in that moonlit lawn. She wrote freely, foregoing the need to use her scissors to edit said letter, because she only had one thing on her mind and was in too much of a hurry to use the vast number of adjectives she usually had at her disposal.
As Jane was riding in the carriage with her cousin, Eliza, and younger brother, Henry, Jane fervently wished that her sister would be with her on this auspicious journey. The long ride from the country into the larger populous of the city of London was absolute torture on Jane's nerves. She was hoping and praying that Tom's uncle would be moved to help their some-what dire situation.
Idly twisting her fingers in nervousness and glancing out the window at the passing scenery, Jane took note of how many more carriages were on the road and the number of buildings they had been passing and coming up with the assumption that they must be getting closer to the city. Closer to Tom's uncle and whatever decision he may make with their situation, and whether it will aide or hinder their inner most desires. But even more important to Jane was that she was closer to seeing her beloved Tom.
Time slowly passed until the carriage finally pulled to a stop. Peering out the curtains of the carriage, her heart leaped when she saw Tom in the doorway. After being ushered into the house with Eliza and Henry, Jane's gaze shifted from the imposing man in front of them—presumably his uncle—and locked with Tom's who was standing behind him. She could feel the warmth and admiration in his stare, causing tiny flutterings in her stomach. Jane suddenly knew that no matter what his uncle may decide during this trip, she would always love Tom and cherish the way that he could make her feel.
If only with a single glance.
