    Summary

    Mary Bennet could be described with three words: intelligent, agreeable, and careful. She was also a damn good pianist, having dedicated her entire life to the study of the craft. As the only pianist for the London Symphony Orchestra, she was accomplished. Happy.
    Right...?

    Thomas Hayward, famous published poet, had everything he'd ever wanted. He worked hard for the fancy flat and the fancy clothes.

    Summary

    It wasn’t as if Mary was moving to another country, London was barely an hour and a half drive from her childhood home. It would be a bit longer now that her mother was moving into Jane’s guest house, but even then it really shouldn’t have been such a big deal. It wasn’t like her mother liked her very much anyway.

    Mary sighed again, and her uncle looked into the rearview mirror to ask “You alright back there?”

    There was concern in his eyes, something she never seemed to find when it came to her mother. They looked alike, but in moments like this it was obvious how different they were.

    “Yes, just nervous.” Mary responded.

    Her aunt reached back from the passenger side to give her hand a tight squeeze.

    “It’s normal to be nervous, Mary.” She smiled, “But trust me, you’ll thrive here.

    Or: Mary Bennet decides to move to London and just so happens to meet a handsome Irishman who works with her uncle... who knows what could happen?
