Collins & Collins was actually located outside LA, far enough from the traffic but close enough to the city. The company produced digital media, but mainly for internal use of other companies.

Charlotte worked in the video production department and was quickly rising in her department. Lizzie was not surprised because she always knew that Charlotte was very talented.

The CEO, Ricky Collins, was a peculiar young man who liked to say big words, talked a lot and insisted on calling her Elizabeth instead of Lizzie. However, he was a big fan of her vlog, and was really interested in continuing her project and developing her ideas.

Lizzie spent that week between business meetings on Collins & Collins and sightseeing with her best friend. Charlotte was excited with the idea of Lizzie working with her and living in the same city again.

For Lizzie, the job opportunity was appealing because it meant that she could be closer to her friend and family; the benefits were really good and Collins seemed genuinely interested on her work.

When she said good-bye to Charlotte at the airport, Lizzie had a pretty good idea of what she wanted to do.

At her return to NY, Lizzie subtly asked Jane about Darcy's visit.

"He is shy, but when he gets comfortable, he is really amiable. I can see why he is Bing's best friend."

"I am glad...," Lizzie was surprised. Darcy might have really changed. She also secretly wanted to know if he had asked or said something about her.

"By the way, he talked about his company and I think you might find its work interesting."

"I already know about Pemberley Digital."

"Oh, and are you applying there?"

Lizzie had thought about it, but she was not convinced she wanted to.

"I'm not sure, maybe..."

"Oh, so... mmm... do you think you'll stay in NY then?"

"I don't know..."

Lizzie noticed that Jane was getting nervous.

"Jane, what is it?"

"While you were gone, Bing asked me to... move in with him, and ... I said yes."

"Oh my god, Jane! Are you serious?!"

"Yes, why?"

That was not the reaction Jane was expecting from Lizzie.

"Well, don't you think it's too soon? You guys haven't even been dating for a year."

"We met nine months ago, and we've been dating for eight, and I love him and he loves me."

Lizzie kept silence. It was obvious to everyone that they were in love, and that Bing made Jane very happy.

"Don't get me wrong, Jane. I support you, but I just want to know that you're completely sure about this."

"I am. Everything just feels right when I'm with him. I really want to take the next step in our relationship."

"Then, in that case...," Lizzie walked to her sister and hugged her, "I'm truly happy for you."

"Have you told mom yet?"

They both laughed, just imagining her reaction.

"Oh, no! The latest, the best...," Jane responded, "What about Dad? What do you think he'll say?"

"I don't think he is going to be very happy at first, but when he sees how much Bing loves you, he'll be okay."

Their apartment lease ended just a week after Lizzie's graduation, which worked perfectly for them. Jane could move before that and inform her family about her decision since the Bennets were already planning to be in New York for Lizzie's graduation.

Weeks after that conversation, with Jane's plans and her imminent graduation on the horizon, Lizzie made a decision and dialed a California number.
