    Summary

    Three whole days since they had finalized their engagement. Since he’d kissed her in the parlor – kissed her until she felt light in the head and warm all over, and her father, perhaps feeling the silence a little too long, declared that he was too hot behind his screens and they should be taken away at once.
    She turned on her heel at the parlor entrance and paced back toward the front door. She decided that if he didn’t show up soon and kiss her some more she was going to be rather cross with him.

    --

    A quick scene set a few days after Emma and Mr. Knightley's engagement. Inspired by the 2020 film.

    Summary

    There was little else to say after that, for she was woefully and entirely right. He had always dreamed of children, even when he himself was a child. The desire, and it’s intensity, had only grown stronger as he had gotten older. With his parents long dead and his brother married, the only familial comfort Mr. Knightley knew was visiting Emma and Mr. Woodhouse for cards or an evening of quiet reading.

    Summary

    Dear Mr Knightley,

    We expect you promptly at five o’clock for dinner. I hope this is agreeable to you.

    Regards,
    Emma Woodhouse

     

    Dear Emma,

    Thank you for the kind offer, but given that I have received no prior warning of this occasion, you must excuse me if I beg off. I have a previous engagement.

    Much appreciatively,
    G. Knightley
