Elizabeth Bennet: Did I just agree to dance with Mr. Darcy?
Charlotte Lucas: I dare say you will find him amiable.
Elizabeth Bennet: It would be most inconvenient since I have sworn to loathe him for all eternity.

Indeed.
A truly unexpected evolution.
I did- not that many months ago- consider this person an unmitigated ass.

Surely it is not the same person. Surely I am not the same myself.
Well, throw me down in that briar patch. I can't wait to see what happens next.
