Summary
“Oh, I missed you,” Jane breathes, wrapping her up, inhaling the cinnamon and orange scent of her hair as he gently rocks her body back and forth. He suddenly realizes how Lisbon must feel when her prayers are answered, except his version is better because she is tangible, better than any god one might worship. Teresa Lisbon is beautiful and strong and complicated and messy and paradoxically perfect to him in every way. There’s no need for proselytization because he needs no persuasion to get on his knees before her.

Summary
As long as she’s in the detention suite with him, the mood is contained. This budding thing that he feels, ready to bloom and flourish and thrive between them, to drive them both into a new chapter of their lives, is still present. But if she leaves, if he can’t see her and watch her process these new changes, ready with the reassurance he knows she will need, he has no way to keep them on the right path. In two weeks, she could come back, determined to recreate their professional relationship. He can’t have that. He’s waited so long. The yearning is eating him from the inside, an insidious, hungry little thing that is calling now, now, do it now.
And Patrick Jane hasn’t gotten to where he is in life by not listening to the dark, covetous parts of his soul.

Summary
Whispers born at the Netherfield ball creep outward with quiet persistence, winding their way into drawing rooms until they fasten Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy in a marriage neither sought nor anticipated.
From Longbourn’s familiar bustle to Pemberley’s distant, solemn grandeur, both must reckon with the pride and prejudice that color their every exchange. Duty may compel them forward, but that path is neither smooth nor assured.

Summary
She's got her back pressed against worn sticky plastic in a swan boat of dubious structural integrity. The swan in front of them is cracked nearly in half, one sad wing drooping awkwardly to the left. It must be out of order. The tunnel is humid and dark, and she can smell the subtle spice of Karadec's cologne over the reek of dielectric grease, warm and piquant, and it's driving her nuts. Bruce Springsteen is still singing in the background, piped through the shitty speakers, on and on in that slightly flat tone he affected on the whole Tunnel of Love album, always a little off from where she expects the notes to fall. It oughta be easy, oughta be simple enough, he croons. Man meets woman and they fall in love.

Summary
“What the hell were you thinking, you can’t just kidnap me!”
“It’s not…”
“You took me out of the hospital, brought me here — wherever the hell here is — and made sure I didn't have my phone. This is the literal definition of kidnapping,” she seethes at him.
He doesn't offer her a rebuttal or any further information so she takes it upon herself to stand, walking quickly to the door of the cabin, to try and make some sense of what’s going on. She steps outside into darkness as Jane follows close behind her without saying a word.
“Where the hell are we?” she demands, looking around wildly, taking in the lack of streetlights, or signs of anyone or anything else nearby.
“I can’t tell you that,” he says bluntly.
