About This Quote

After a moment passed, perhaps half a second when their faces said what they felt, and then Emma was smiling, laughing, her arms around his neck. The time in which Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet shared the joy of love with each other is known as the "half-second" or "fleeting moment." The couple's hearts were near to bursting with tenderness for each other at that moment. Their hearts beat in unison, their eyes spoke their most ardent desire, their lips were but a breath away from being united into one perfect kiss.

As the lovers stood together, they were not simply touching hands or embracing one another's arms. They were kissing, they were holding on to each other.
