Chapter 1: Look At Me
Chapter Text
Their Kiss ended
Foreheads touching
Noses bumping
Eyes closed
Pure Bliss
On the Cliffs
Surrounded by nature
Then Sidney remembered
He hadn’t intended this
Only to express his deep emotions
Beset by nerves
Looking down at her beautiful face
Overcome with longing
This wouldn’t do
She deserved better
He stroked her cheek
Charlotte, he whispered
Look at me
She gazed up at him
Love and trust in her eyes
The only future he wanted
Please forgive me
I forgot myself
Simply intended to declare
That I Love You
Most Ardently
Request a dance tonight
He prayed for a favourable answer
Chapter 2: The Answer
Summary:
Here is the Conclusion
Will Charlotte agree to Sidney’s request??
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
She nodded
I love to dance
Especially with you
Relief coursed through him
Still not enough
Holding her hands, he knelt down
I intend proposing formally tonight
But Now
Between The Two Of Us
You are the future I desire
Please allow me to request a courtship
Promise to marry me?
Tears fall from her eyes
I believed this moment impossible
My love for you forever unrequited
Yes, Sidney, to All Of It
Mrs Charlotte Parker, she murmured longingly
His name on her lips sounded like heaven
She bent to kiss him
They walked back to town slowly
Blissfully happy
Notes:
Obviously, there should have been a Proposal following their Kiss
Technically, they were informally engaged and Sidney knew it, I actually don’t believe he had the right to make the choice he did, without discussing with Charlotte first and she may well have relinquished him reluctantly. Episode 8 was such a mess in so many ways.But Anyway…
Postscript
Nothing would then disrupt their Happy Ending
No ridiculous Plot Twists
Miss Austen disapproves of those!
Hadn’t they been through enough already?!The Only Ending is Sidney & Charlotte
Mr and Mrs Parker
Marital Bliss Awaits Them
In the True Austen World
