There are some Friday's where one would usually like to go out and have a romantic dinner, there are other Friday's where one would like to just forget that there are laws and go to a bar with some friends, maybe even go clubbing… However this particular Friday night all Lizzie Bennet wanted was to kick off her heels, order Chinese, and surf the web mindlessly.

It was safe to say that say that she was exhausted. Lizzie could tell that even William was tired, he sat in the arm chair beside the sofa with a book in his hands but his head was slightly nodding off and his lids were heavy. She refocused her attention to her screen, Lydia had given her a headache about how she had to read fanfiction of her own videos and life.

"Ugh but Lydia, I don't have to read fanfiction about-"

"Pleeeaaaseeee Lizzie, they're all super funny! Come on! I know you miss vlogging!"

Lizzie did miss it, she often wondered about turning the camera back on and tell people about every twist and turn that had happened since she'd been gone but, she knew. She knew that when she turned it off, it was for the right reasons. To thrive and to put her attention in appropriate places.

Lizzie's thoughts were interrupted by William snapping the book shut.

"Chinese should be here soon… I think I should get the wine." He said standing up. Lizzie was 90% sure that William was just trying hard to stay awake but then the apartment buzzer went off. William walked over to the door and buzzed the delivery man in before turning back to head into the kitchen.

"William… you have always had impeccable timing." Lizzie said, she was surprised and pondered whether or not William had some sort of telekinetic ability. She got up and cleared the coffee table and followed William into the kitchen to get plates.

William set down the glass and bottle of wine on the coffee table, even to Lizzie's delight, lighted a few candles just in time to get to the door and pay the delivery man.

They both sat together on the sofa unpacking their guilty pleasure.

"You know…" William smiled gleefully, "We had Chinese on our first date."

Lizzie paused so she could think, "Wait… No we didn't. You took me out to that Italian place."

"No, we had Chinese."

Lizzie took a minute, "Wait… you think our first date was the night we kissed?"

"Yes. I mean it was the moment we became a couple and then we ate."

Lizzie flushed, "The night of my birthday… and Charlotte's."

William swallowed the spoonful of rice with wine, "Yes…why?"

He saw Lizzie's expression, she pressed her lips and looked in the opposite direction.

"I felt bad for Charlotte…That's all." Lizzie admitted. William looked at her with confusion.

"Why? Because I ate her honey walnut shrimp?"

Lizzie burst into laughter and threw her head back. "No! Because while we were…. You know…"

William pulled her close and completed her sentence, "While we were kissing."

"She was fighting off my mother." Lizzie finished. They both chuckled and Lizzie for some reason was still blushing. The way William pulled her towards him made her feel like she was the only girl in the world. He always treated her with the greatest respect and she did the same. She stared at him, enjoying every minute of him being romantic.

After a pause, William continued, "That was the greatest moment in my life."

She was about to say mine too but then her mind caught onto multiple things, "Wait… wait." Lizzie's mind was spinning and she was pretty sure every moment of tonight had happened before.

She nearly fell off the sofa as she lunged for her laptop that sat on the floor, she opened the window and read out the words that Lydia had sent to her via Microsoft Word:

"Lizzie was sprawled on the sofa and Darcy was in the armchair besides her." Lizzie's voice began to shake, "They were waiting for Chinese. Lizzie was pretty sure Darcy was falling asleep… and what… and Darcy was pretty sure that Lizzie had no idea what was happening…. William, what is…?" Lizzie was scrolling through the document and went straight to the last page.

Lizzie read aloud, "After a pause, William said, 'That was the greatest moment in my life' to which Lizzie asked, 'What do you mean 'was?'"

Lizzie was standing on her knees on the sofa, she looked up from the laptop screen to see William who pushed the coffee table away, who was down on one knee. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a black box, he opened it slowly as he said, "Elizabeth Bennet, you once said that because of my arrogance and pride, I would be last man you could ever fall in love with…"

At this point Lizzie, was a complete mess. She was crying, smiling, and panicking.

"And something happened, but, we gave each other a chance… to get to know one another and Elizabeth Bennet, I know I can be infuriating and a complete idiot but, getting to know you and falling in love with you has been one of the most humbling experiences in my life. You-…. You're my light. You've shown me new perspectives and falling in love with you has been…"

"Illuminating?" Lizzie said automatically. She put her hands over her mouth. "Sorry!"

William laughed and looked up at her adoringly, "Elizabeth, I must tell you I've been the most unmitigated and comprehensive ass… Sorry."

Lizzie was laughing with him through her tears of sheer joy.

"Will you marry me?"

At this point, they were both laughing and crying. Terrified but so excited. Lizzie, was simply sitting straight up on sofa now lifted William's chin and kissed him with all the love she could give. She could tell William didn't know what to do with his hands, not wanting to have him drop the box, she broke the kiss with a smile.

"Yes. A thousand times, yes."
