Window (100 word challenge)

Summary:

Why does Darcy stare out of windows? Inspired by elag's "Missing" on fanfiction.net and Colin Firth's performance in the 1995 BBC miniseries version.

Work Text:

Mr. Darcy had a problem. His body reacted immodestly when near Miss Elizabeth. He found facing windows or sitting at a desk penning a letter to be suitable solutions. While he longed to walk with her and Miss Bingley, he dared not set down his closed book, instead said he could "admire them better" from there.

When Miss Lydia visited, in a childish pique, excited about the upcoming ball, she ran around the garden and noticed Mr. Darcy through the window. On the carriage ride home she exclaimed: "Mr. Darcy has a huge sword. Denny's is nothing to it."
