John Knightley is the introvert experience
I mean, behold his reaction to Mr. Weston happily choosing to attend a party he could have skipped:
He gets us.
His dynamic with Mr. Weston might be my favourite gag in the novel. For those who don't remember, here's the jist:
Mr. Weston: 😄 Hello, everyone! Let's keep the party going! 😄
Everyone: 😊 Hello, Mr. Weston! 😊
John Knightley: 😠 Hello, Mr. Weston... 😤
And of course:
Classic extroverted behaviour. Too busy being mirthful and congenial to realize other people would like to go home. I love it. They're like Bingley and Darcy if they never became friends.

Week 20: Coffee (1)
for @thebrownstone's drabble event (holy shit 20 weeks!)
“Henry,” Alex begins, shaking. “I cannot say from the very first moment that my heart was irrevocably gone, but it certainly belonged to you sooner than I ever admitted. You have bewitched me, body and soul. I was in the middle before I knew I’d begun. If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.”
“Well, I’ve never had trouble talking. Austen notwithstanding, for me, love is nothing more complex than you making my coffee with cinnamon every morning. We’ve already made history; how about now, we make a life?”
“Henry, will you marry me?”

“Misery such as mine has no pride. I care not who knows I am wretched. The triumph of seeing me so may be open to all the world. I must feel - I must be wretched - and they are welcome to enjoy the consciousness of it that can.”
~ Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility.

I find it super bittersweet that "Northanger Abbey" and "Persuasion" share the same dick joke.
