Well the letter worked. Darcy earnestly watched the next few videos, hoping to God that her opinion was changing. It seemed to be. Although they still blamed him and Bing for Jane's unhappiness. He wanted to yell at her that it wasn't Bing's fault. Bing just put his trust in the wrong man. He saw the videos. He cried along with Jane through her time of grieving. He was a monster.

After that his work kept him busy, but he still took time out of his day to watch Lizzie smile. Then one day, an announcement: She was coming to San Francisco. To Pemberly Digital.

Darcy went back to tearing at his nails and bruising his thigh. Lizzie Bennet both causing and slowing his decent into madness.

He watched her first video at Pemberly from his office in LA. Damn Gigi why couldn't she just leave Lizzie to her own devices. It was a good thing he was in LA and not San Francisco!

He would just have to strangle her when he visited later this week.

When the time came to pick her up from Pemberly, Gigi wasn't outside, so he roamed the halls looking for her.

He finally found her looking a little crazed. She pushed him towards the office at the end of the fall and shut the door behind him. He turned when he heard a startled squeak.

Georgiana Darcy would pay.

It was all he could do to stop himself reaching out and caressing her face. She hated him. But then why were her lips not pursed and turned down? Could it be that she actually liked him?

When she threatened to take herself away from him, he offered her a lift to her destination. Anything to keep his drug from leaving.

She declined.

His decent continued.
