This is my attempt at Table C from the Drabbleday community on LiveJournal. I took the 7 day challenge which involved writing a drabble a day for the full week based on the prompts given. I chose to write for the Pride and Prejudice fandom, with the pairing of Lizzy and Darcy. Each chapter is a different drabble.
A drabble is 100 words normally, however as this was my first attempt at the drabble form, I tend to overstep the word limit.

Elizabeth Bennet x Fitzwilliam Darcy
(15/12/09 – 21/12/09)
#06 – Reliable (170 words)
Written on 20th December 2009
Elizabeth could not have found a more reliable husband. Despite his extreme wealth and huge estate, he always took time from his duties to see to her needs. Elizabeth wanted for nothing, and should she ask, he would give her anything. He was never late for dinner, and answered her questions with startling honesty. He told her he would never lie, as he felt deeply ashamed at his conduct prior to their marriage when he had hidden her sister's presence in London from his good friend, damaging their budding relationship and causing Elizabeth and her family great distress. Whenever she looked into his eyes, she knew he would never lie to her. Whenever he held her in his strong arms, she knew she would always be safe. One kiss from his lips would tell her how much he adored her and erase her worries. He was someone she could rely on, and she reminded herself how lucky she was that he had made her an offer for the second time.
