Panel 1: The next afternoon. CHARLES BINGLEY stands alone on the Bennet front step in the sunlight, hands loose at his sides, wearing a hopeful, nervous smile. The garden path behind him is empty — nobody else came. Panel 2: The warm living room. LIZZIE BENNET asks from an armchair with a mug in one hand while BINGLEY sits forward on the sofa opposite, relaxed and cheerful. LIZZIE: 'Is your friend not with you?' Panel 3: Tight close-up of LIZZIE as the answer lands, her small polite smile not quite holding. BINGLEY (off-panel): 'Darcy? He drove back to the city this morning.'

Three panels: Bingley alone on the front step the next afternoon, Lizzie asking him a casual question in the living room, and a close-up of her face as he explains Darcy has gone back to the city.
