Ch 28 of TTLBLAH is up!

I had real trouble with this chapter, I have written and rewritten it a million times or so. And since I'm missing a beta, I really don't have anyone to listen to my whining and discussing how the story develops. Oh well, here's a sneak peak anyways...
Chapter 28: Plotting and Then Some

William grinned as he watched Elizabeth pull up in a silvery convertible.

"Nice," he said and nodded appreciatively at the sleek car before sliding down in the passenger seat.

"I know," she replied. He wanted to lean over for a kiss, but Elizabeth accelerated and soon they were flying down the road toward Netherfield.

"But mine's bigger," he said after a while.

"Really, Will? That's so lame," Elizabeth snorted and he felt himself blush.

"Yeah... " He didn't know what to say. He was so not his normal confident self when he was around her. He felt like he was 14 again, trying to impress his date. "But I do have a Bentley."

"Why am I not surprised?" Elizabeth said and threw him a side way glance.

Ch 27 of TTLBLAH is up!

This chapter didn't really turn out as I had planned. Though, they rarely do, this took another turn completely! Now the characters decided to do things their way, and not mine. ;)

Sneak peak:
Chapter 27: Interlude
Jane dragged herself into her apartment and slumped down on the sofa. She had just seen Elizabeth off on her sort of date with William. Jane had been able to convince her sister to bring food, to make it more of a date-date, than just fetching Jane's car and their stuff. She had also managed to guilt Elizabeth into tell her all about what had happened with William. Jane could see that Elizabeth, though not yet admitting to it, was very much in love with William. She could hardly believe that Peter's plan had actually worked.

Jane had tried to remain her happy normal self in front of her sister, but now that she was alone, the tears came. She couldn't help herself. Suddenly her world came crushing down around her and she could do nothing to stop it. Everything had been so great for the last couple of months. Perhaps it was all too good to be true, nobody was allowed to be as happy as she had been.
