  Summary

  Five hours post-proposal, Fitzwilliam Darcy is doing exactly what any rational, deeply insulted, and profoundly heartbroken gentleman would do at three o'clock in the morning: writing a dramatic essay in his journal, meticulously dismantling Elizabeth's cutting rejection. If she wishes to speak in hyperbolic extremes, he is more than willing to stretch her declaration to its absolute limit—even if it requires an apocalypse, a shipwreck, and an imaginary love rival to prove her wrong... or maybe not.
