   Summary

   A story of yearning while married.

   For Mary Bennet, thinking little of herself is a thing of the past. However, some things bring back old thinking. Her wedding night to Tom Hayward is such an event, which reminds Mary of her self-limiting beliefs. Due to a misunderstanding between the pair, things get worse and soon both Mary and Tom are longing for something in their marriage they are both too awkward to bring up.
