Darcy watched curiously as Bobby approached, but Bingley looked a little bit terrified. He was trying his best not to laugh at his friend, he really hadn’t been much better when trying to figure out how to propose to Ashley, after all.
Once Bobby spoke, both men were stunned into silence, just staring at him with surprise for an awkward amount of time.
“Uh... well, Christ, now I want to say yes to you, Robert!” Bingley exclaimed after a moment with a sort of nervous laugh. “What was the bit about the colours?”
“It doesn’t have to be word for word, just tell her the truth about how you feel for her,” Darcy added.
