"Well. She will be your sister, in a way," he nodded, unable to stop himself from smiling at the thought of it again. He knew that they were acting like they were married already, but he really was very excited by the thought of being able to call her Mrs Darcy one day.
"She'll get better at it, I'm certain," he smirked a little. He knew that she would probably be afraid of picking the wrong thing, but once she got more used to the era she'd find a compromise that she was comfortable with. Just as he was starting to, he supposed, but there had always been less hard and fast rules for men.
He took the gift from her with a slightly confused look that softened with her explanation. He opened it up and smiled. "Thank you. It's perfect," he told her, placing it aside for a moment so that he could give her a kiss of thanks. He wasn't sure when he'd last received a proper gift, and it seemed like Ashley was just spoiling him lately.
