    Summary

    “My dearest Fanny!” William Price burst forth. “You will not believe it! I am to be a lieutenant. My friend Captain Linton has spoken for me. As soon as he is to have a ship I am to be his lieutenant!”

    It was impossible that Fanny’s spirits should be as high as his, but her felicity might well have surpassed his. She listened to him with tears of joy in her eyes and could not express her pride in his accomplishments nor her gratitude for this long-awaited promotion in terms warm enough to suit her feelings.

    William was jubilant. To Captain Marshall he had been a favourite in the way only a steady, dependable midshipman could be, but to Captain Linton he was a friend. Now at last he would be in the way to make his fortune. Never in his life had he felt such triumphant satisfaction and if only he would be granted an opportunity to introduce the Captain to his sister before they returned to sea, he would have nothing to wish for.

    Summary

    Audrey wrote him brief notes all that next year. Today I went to the waterfall pool. It's really too early to swim but I went in anyway. There was no one else around, and I couldn't hear myself breathe or think, the water was so loud. I had to get out too soon because I was cold. Are you ever lonely?

    It's hard to ignore someone having an intense heart-to-heart with a tape recorder a foot and a half away from you.

    Summary

    Late at night, when she’s back at her apartment she gets an enigmatic text form Mary Crawford. It reads: “Fanny, whatever Edmund tells you, remember Henry only has eyes for you”.
    Edmund avoids her the whole next day after he gets back to the office from the trip so whatever he’s supposedly about to tell her can’t be that important. He vanishes before 5 p.m. to go to the hospital and only tells Fanny that he’ll call her later.
    So when early in the morning her phone starts to ring she only assumes it’s him. But instead of Edmund’s number, her screen flashes up showing the number of Mr. Thomas Bertram.
    “Fanny,” his voice greets her from the other side of the line when she picks up. “I’m terribly sorry to inconvenience you at such an hour but I need to ask you for a favor. I know it’s a lot to ask and I’ll explain everything when you get here, but for now, can you please get ready to spend the day at the hospital?”

    or

    Tom Bertram is in an accident and because of the Bertram Family drama Fanny needs to take care of him.
