Chapter Text
"Darcy, do you know where..." Aaron stopped as he entered the livingroom of Darcy's apartment. Darcy was sitting a bowl of pretzels on the coffee table, some paino music coming from the TV.
"Where...??" Darcy promoted from her spot, smiling at his confusion as to why the Pretzels were joining a pizza, a plate of tater tots, and another bowl of popcorn, plus various drinks in a cooler bag beside her.
"I was wondering where my papers on the Bridge's energy output where...what are you doing? Is someone coming over?"
"Nope. I'm having a movie marathon, Gilmore style."
"Gilmore..style."
"Yes, remind me to have you watch that later."
"Sure, along with Professor Who, Harry Potter and some reality show about baking."
"Its the great British bake-off. I can't believe you haven't seen it, especially since you are british."
"Only partially," he answered, walking toward the couch. "What are you watching?"
"Jane Austen. I've got a movie for each book, plus a few mini series. This is going to be a weekend long thing. My cousin Kori and I do this once a year."
"She's coming over? I thought you said no one was coming over."
"We are doing it by skype this year. She's at a writer's convention in Philadephia for the week, so she'll skype me in afew. She wants to meet you, you know." Darcy decided not to tell him it was because Kori had some idea that she had finally met her match, and all. Personally Darcy didn't know if she was right, but Kori was a romance novelist. Romance was on her brain professionally.
"How is she going to be watching it?"
"She went up to Philly a few days early to visit with some of her friends. They are actually joining in this year." She paused. "Want to join us?"
"I've got to get back to work. Maybe I'll catch some when I get home."
She smiled at him, leaning up to kiss him. "Your papers are on the desk in the guest room."
