Gigi was just returning to her desk when her phone started ringing. She fished it out of her pocket and saw that William was calling. She pressed the answer call button, and said, "Hi, Will!"
"Hello, Gigi," replied William. "How are you?"
"I'm good, I just got back from lunch," said Gigi. "What's up?"
"Um...there's something I need to tell you," he said.
Gigi felt a shiver run down her spine at the seriousness of his tone, but she answered brightly, "What do you need to tell me?"
"There's a girl I l-like," said William in a rush.
"That's great! What's her name?" said Gigi enthusiastically.
"Lizzie Bennet," replied William, and Gigi smiled. "But she doesn't like me."
"What? Why not?"
"I may have insulted her when we first met," said William. "But she also heard George Wickham's story of my wrongdoings. That's actually the reason I'm calling- Fitz thinks that if I tell her what really happened, she'll think better of me, and I thought I should get your permission to tell her what happened."
Gigi was silent for a while, thinking. Part of her didn't want William to tell what happened, mostly out of a sense of shame, but she also wanted William to be happy, and if this Lizzie Bennet made her brother happy...
"You- you can tell her," she finally said in a quiet voice. She nodded. Will deserved to be happy.
"Thank you, Gigi," William said fervently. "I'll call you later."
"Bye, Will," Gigi replied, and hung up.
