Finally expressing the truth:

Despite what would be said of Lydia being alone with Captain Denny in his room, she refused to care. Though Lydia had no plans to help Denny settle in, her agenda was much different.

Which became clear to Denny when she shut the door and jumped up onto him, wrapping her legs around Denny's waist and kissing him.

Denny's first reaction was to catch her and hold her before he began kissing Lydia back. Denny walked Lydia over to the bed and laid her down it, he leaned over her as they kissed, his knee resting between Lydia's legs while he began pushing up the nightgown in the heat of the moment.

It was then that Denny gathered himself. He lifted himself from Lydia, and backed away from the bed taking a few deep breaths. "I'm sorry...I should have controlled myself" Denny said as he looked anywhere but at her.

Lydia stood up and walked over to Denny. She took his hand into her own and held it up between them. "Denny, have you fallen in love with me?" Lydia asked quietly as she stared up at him.

Denny looked down at her. "It is wrong, you are Mrs. Wickham, and I've led you astray" He replied then looked away.

Lydia shook her head as she moved right back into Denny's line of vision. "No, of course you have not, I may be Mrs. Wickham, but I do not wish to be, not with a husband who cares not for me, and wants me dead, nothing has lead me astray, I feel as though I am right where I ought to be" Lydia said sadly. "It is you I love Denny, I know it, I never did love Wickham...only the idea of him...But you, I can, and do love you" She said, the words coming straight from her heart rather then from a place of silly passion.

Denny leaned down and kissed Lydia once again, but only briefly before he rested his forehead against Lydia's. "And I have fallen for you, I had tried not to, and before then, I had thought I never would, but still, I have fallen in love" Denny said softly. He moved his hand to stroke her cheek. "There will be a way, one day, you'll see, we will be wed." Denny promised with a smile.

He then stepped away from Lydia. "Now leave me, I need to rest before I take the journey to Oakridge. It will all be well soon Lydia"
