    Summary

    Mary had, of course, warned him, in her careful and precise way, that her sisters were coming to London in a fortnight and would very likely call on Tuesday. She said this the way she said most things - directly, without embellishment, and as though the facts spoke sufficiently for themselves. Tom had nodded and thought: sisters. Yes. He had older sisters that he was very fond of. He found himself quite confused at the undertone of dread Mary seemed to have as she anticipated the visit. “I understand sisters very well, my dear!”

    It turned out, he did not understand the Bennets.

    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.
