He called her at midnight to tell her that he couldn't stop thinking about her. She was the light to his darkness. He felt like the luckiest man in the world to have found her at last. He apologized for saying all those things about her when they first met at the party, but he wasn't himself that night. She smiled into the phone and told him that the past is the past. Now, they have an entire future together to look forward to.

He wanted to talk more, to hear her beautiful voice through the phone, but his mind is telling him that it's late. He opened his mouth to end the conversation when he heard her voice coming from the other end. "I'm afraid that I have to hang up now. I'll see you in the morning, okay?" She said as sleep crept into her voice.

"Of course. Sleep well, my darling. Dream of me tonight." He said. "I will. Goodnight, Mr. Darcy." She said before hanging up. "Goodnight, my dearest, loveliest Elizabeth," Darcy said as he put the phone back onto the nightstand. He then pulled the blanket up to his chin, reaching out to turn off the lamp, and let the Sandman do his work.

End.
