Re: Ashley and Fitzy and Open
Darcy smiled and gave her arm a squeeze in return before he started pointing people out to her. There weren’t too many members of his family present - he was very aware for a moment that his parents were gone. And then there was Lady Catherine and Cousin Anne who hadn’t even been invited. But the people he truly cared for had turned up.
“... Colonel Fitzwilliam is there talking with Rawdon Crawley, in their matching jackets,” he teased lightly. His cousin rarely took the damn thing off, but he supposed a little pride wasn’t a bad thing. “And his brother is over there, and... well, that is their father seated there, in the blue jacket,” he explained. He was surprised the Earl had made it, and he did look rather old and a little tired.
