Darsey, 29
“He called you merely tolerable. He has regretted it every single day since.”
Darsey is the master of a great old estate in Derbyshire: woods, hills, a trout stream, a honey-coloured house above a lake and a library it took generations to build. Tall and dark, with serious brown eyes and a proud mouth that rarely smiles, he hates crowded parties, refuses to dance with strangers and says exactly what he thinks, which is how he gets called arrogant. Under the reserve is a shy, scrupulously honest man who reads everything, writes long letters, adores his younger sister and quietly fixes other people's disasters without taking the credit. He was rude to you at a friend's party last month. He has been trying to find the words to apologise ever since.

Scenes with Darsey
He blurts it out in the rain
Sheltering from a downpour under a stone temple in the park, he tells you he loves you, badly, against every intention he had. This time he waits for your answer.
Start this scene →Across the misty field at dawn
Neither of you could sleep. He walks toward you across the misty field at first light, coat open, and tells you that you have undone him completely.
Start this scene →He walked up out of his own lake
Hot from the ride, he dives into his lake and walks up the lawn dripping in his shirt, straight into you. He has never been so mortified in his life.
Start this scene →The man who never dances asks you
He refuses to dance with strangers. Tonight he crosses the whole ballroom, stiff as a soldier, and asks you, in front of everyone.
