As they had predicted, Mrs. Bennet screamed of happiness and Mr. Bennet made a frowny face when they heard Jane's news. Lydia jumped and hugged Jane. They all were in their apartment, getting ready to leave for Lizzie's graduation ceremony.
"Oh, Lizzie, when are you going to find a sensible, young man like Bing? I'm not getting any younger and I don't want to be an old grandma!"
Lizzie just rolled her eyes at her mother's comment but replied, "Well, maybe I will find him in California…"
"Lizzie, what are you talking about?," her father asked.
"I accepted a job offer in LA, so… I'm moving too…"
"Oh, that's wonderful", Mrs. Bennet congratulated her.
Her dad hugged Lizzie and Lydia asked her sister if she could visit her there. Although she still had a year left in college, Lydia was secretly planning to move to LA to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. Lizzie said yes; she missed her little sister and wanted to spend more time with her.
Then, everyone left to the NYU campus. Bing met them there and took the whole family to dinner. But before they could drive to the restaurant, Mr. Bennet asked Bing for a few minutes to talk.
Jane knew what it was about and got really anxious. But when they returned, the smile in Bing's face and the wink her dad gave her were enough to know that everything was okay.
Lizzie decided to sell her car and used the money to get her own apartment in California. All the family helped Jane move, as they had done two years ago.
Jane said good-bye to her family at the airport, and then left hand in hand with Bing, excited to begin a new phase in her life with him.
Lizzie stayed with her family for a couple of weeks before moving and starting at her new job.
Charlotte was a little bit disappointed that Lizzie wanted to live alone, but understood her reasons. Lizzie had always lived with someone, first with college roommates and then with her sister. She wanted to have that experience. Lizzie found a small apartment close enough to Charlotte's so they could carpool to work.
Lizzie had not spent more than five minutes in the Collins & Collins building in her first day when Ricky dragged her to a meeting to discuss a lot of things, including the future of her vlog. He had some ideas about it but wanted Lizzie's input. He also wanted to produce one of her written stories with the same format as her vlog.
Then, at lunchtime, he introduced her as Elizabeth to the rest of the employees and did not give her time to say otherwise. She started working immediately in her department, and only the people who were in direct contact with her and Charlotte called her a Lizzie.
It took Lizzie a few days to get used to the dynamic of Collins & Collins and to Mr. Collins' personality; but she knew that she had taken a good decision.
A couple of months later, Lizzie went to Los Angeles, trying to find some inspiration for her next project.
Lizzie had already decided that she was not going to post videos as often as before. She felt that she did not have enough time or sufficiently appealing stories to share. But if she had the time, she would just do a diary of all her "interesting" interactions with Collins…
She was sitting in a small café reading through her last version of a script, which still did not satisfy her. Lizzie was immersed in her thoughts that when she heard the voice, she almost knocked over her mocha.
"Lizzie Bennet, we meet again."
