I read Pride & Prejudice in high school and have re-read it every year since. I began crafting alternate stories by imagining Elizabeth and Jane sharing their hearts late at night. I am passionate about these characters who are dear friends, and enjoy picturing them in new times or situations. Their strengths and shortcomings shine in each new story.
Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind. But vanity, not love, has been my folly. Pleased with the preferrence of one, and offended by the neglect of the other, on the very beginning of our acquaintance, I have courted prepossession and ignorance and driven reason away where either were concerned.
Till this moment, I never knew myself.
