Hi All! I know this one is super short but hey! It's my story… actually its my head cannon of an adaptation of Jane Austen's story… but anyway… CAROLINE LEE!
'Mayday,' read Caroline's text.
Rolling his eyes, Darcy returned to his papers. Like a coward, he had used another potential business purchase as an excuse to push off announcing the NE acquisition. A joint release would look better anyway... at least that is what he told himself.
Not two minutes went by before his cell began to buzz. "Hello Caroline."
"He's baking."
Darcy remained silent.
"Bing is baking!" Caroline repeated with gusto. "My brother has never scrambled an egg successfully and now he is on his fourth attempt at making snickerdoodles from scratch. Snickerdoodles Darcy!"
"Maybe you should call Fitz. Reports say he makes excellent cookies."
"Not funny. And you know Fitz hates me. Plus, he's in Fiji now isn't he?"
Will smiled, "Probably." He fell silent again. Caroline waited, expecting more from him. Finally her patience wore out.
"Darcy. How are you not freaking out with me? You must know he is making these..."
"For Jane, yes." He finished.
"Oh thank god. I thought I'd lost you. He's packed the largest suitcase and gassed up the car. He doesn't look like he's slept. Come talk some sense into my brother please!"
"I already have. Good day Caroline."
Hanging up the phone, Will took a deep breathe. He put aside the papers and pulled up Lizzie's channel on his laptop. He forced his eyes away from Lizzie to Jane. Watching her mouth fall into an "oh" shape, her eyes go wide.
Yes, Bing needed those snickerdoodles and a dash or two of luck. Begging would likely be involved.
Look at our lovely Mr. Darcy. If any of you seahorses are still alive today, you are doing better than me! I'm posting this from the grave. But for being alive or in corporal form, you have one more chapter to look forward to from me on this. Maybe I'll write more but at this time, I think this is all the juice I have in this box.
Best,
Melissa
