Okay, so I am close to ending this story. A lot of people want me to continue past where Jane Austen had left off and I have decided that I will make a small attempt. I hope that you all will like it.

Thank you to everyone who left a review. I went through and tried to respond to most of them. If I haven't responded to yours I would like to apologize. I really appreciate all of you taking the time to not only read but review.

The short months leading up to their marriage flew by easily and were filled with nothing but joy especially for Beatrice.

There was always a week or two that Ezekiel would leave Abnegation to settle business in Erudite before returning quickly to be at Shauna's side. However for Tobias, he refused to withdraw from Beatrice's presence for more than a couple days and settled to be back with her in Abnegation before his journey took him past a few days.

As much as he did not favor society there with all their questioning about his engagement to their local beauty, Tobias endured through all of the dinners and gatherings that were to be had. For the most part Beatrice did not leave him unattended and for this both were grateful.

Beatrice knew that Tobias was more of a private creature and as she was once told would not rattle about like other young men. However, she found that she enjoyed their moments of peace far more than being surrounded by her friends and family. Communication was not something they lacked as a couple now. Tobias informed her of anything that she wanted to know.

For Tobias, Beatrice had proven herself as a trusted and valuable partner for him. When Marlene had received the letter from her brother of his engagement to Miss Beatrice there was no one that could have been more delighted for him or Beatrice. Marlene quickly replied with a lengthy letter to not just Tobias but also to Beatrice.

My Dearest Sister

I hope that you do not mind at all that I call you my sister. I am overcome with joy upon hearing my brother's proposal to you. I could not have wished for a better companion for Tobias.

I remember expressing to you once that I have longed for a sister, someone to discuss womanly matters and emotions. No words could describe my sentiments on you being that said sister. I fear that you and I will become very close as though we had always been true friends.

Beatrice smiled constantly at the letter. It was overflowing with nothing but pleasantries from the young woman who would see become her sister. She did not mind the least that Marlene had started to address her as such.

It became apparent from her continuing to read on that Marlene had hoped that Beatrice would come to love her as a sister. Unknown to Marlene, Beatrice did dearly like the young girl of six and ten and could easily see the two of them becoming close companions. There was something else in her letter.

"Aye, this girl truly approves of her brother's choice in me," Beatrice smiled as she turned the page over. It made her glad to know that Marlene was accepting of her.

My schooling permits me from travelling this month but do I long to see you dear sister. I have found a new duet that you and I might play together. I know that you're disposed to thinking your technique is flawed but I see your talent. Tobias admires your talent as well.

Oh, I still cannot believe that my brother and you are engaged. I am quite beside myself with joy. I can scarcely write without breaking down in a fit of happiness for the both of you. Until we meet again, I wish you all the happiness.

Sincerely yours

Marlene Eaton

"What are you thinking of," Tobias asked her later on that afternoon as they went for a walk with Christina and Lynn walking a few steps behind, laughing about something.

"I was pondering your sister's letter," Beatrice smiled up at him.

"Marlene wrote to you," Tobias asked.

"Aye."

"And have you responded yet?"

"I did not send the letter out but I have written a few passages to her. You are not angry at our secret communication are you," teased Beatrice.

Tobias's lips turned into a small smile. "No," he reassured her by turning to look upon her. "I suppose it was inevitable that the two of you would become dear friends. She wrote to me as well."

"Oh?"

Tobias looked away with a look upon his brow that Beatrice had come to enjoy. It was a look of mischief. It rarely showed itself around others and she was ecstatic whenever she saw it. It was something that he had reserved for only her.

"You dare not to tell your future wife?"

"My future wife and my sister are keeping secrets of their own, I'm afraid," Tobias replied trying to mask his emotion this time. He knew it was just a matter of time before he would break his facade. Beatrice was beginning to read him easily these days and though he did not mind it was still fun to tease her.

They continued walking quietly as Beatrice kept smiling. Time would slowly reveal his secrets.

"She wishes to see you before the wedding," Tobias said after a moment.

"Really," Beatrice turned to him as sly smile crossed her lips.

The emotion showed in her eyes and once again it left Tobias lost for words.

"Mr. Eaton you are quiet once again," Beatrice reminded him.

"Have I ever told you that your eyes are intense, my dearest Beatrice?"

Beatrice shook her head and looked down. Who would have known that a man she had come to dislike upon first impression was now romancing her? Tobias placed his hands delicately under her chin and titled her head to look up at him.

"Please do not hide yourself from me," Tobias whispered.

A burning passion Beatrice did not know she would ever feel or recognize stirred deep within her. It was the type of feeling that she could have labelled as indescribable. Tobias looked at her as though he would die if he looked away. His hands were gripping hers and for once she truly felt like he was hers.

"Yes, we all know that she is beautiful," Lynn broke in. "But we cannot linger here."

Tobias turned to eye out their chaperones for the afternoon. Christina immediately took a step back from under the gaze of her future brother in law. There was nothing fun about him. To Christina, Tobias was all seriousness. She wondered what her journey to Dauntless would bring her.

Beatrice had taken it upon herself to request her father send Christina with her for the first couple months of her marriage in Dauntless. Mr. Prior saw no objection to it and hoped that being in the presence of the Eaton household might set Christina on a straighter path than that of Lauren.

"Susan arrives does she not," Beatrice asked Lynn as her hand withdrew to a simple grasp of Tobias' arm.

"Yes," Lynn smiles.

"With Mr. Alan," Tobias added before continuing their walk. "He expressed some concern about our marriage," he informed Beatrice once they were once again ahead of their companions.

"Mr. Alan sent a letter to you as well?"

Tobias looked at Beatrice a bit surprised. "Yes. Am I to assume that he wrote to you, offering his congratulations?"

"Nay," Beatrice supplied. "It was directed to my father. He expressed congratulations for both Shauna and I. Also included was his warning of Lady Evelyn's displeasure in our engagement."

"Do you wish for me to write her?"

"You would do that," Beatrice turned to Tobias.

"Of course."

"It truly is not that simple, Mr. Eaton."

Tobias shook his head. "I have enough courage to inform Lady Evelyn of my determination to see you as my wife. The letter would need to be written carefully. I think that given enough time and consideration, I may be able to soften her perspective. It is something that must be done and if you were to give me a sheet of paper I would write the letter this moment," he added with a smile.

"If you would write the letter, I might sit by you and admire your style of writing, as another young lady once did," Beatrice teased.

"We will continue to banter through our lives, won't we?"

"I believe we shall."

"Good," Tobias nodded. "I would not wish to change anything about you." Tobias leaned down to bestow a kiss on Beatrice's cheek before continuing their pace.
