Synopsis

What if they met before the assembly? Elizabeth Bennet doesn't know the handsome stranger who helps her choose a ribbon in Mrs. Ford's shop is Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley. He doesn't know the sharp-witted young woman who makes him laugh is the second daughter of an unremarkable country family. For five unexpected minutes, they are simply two people having a conversation. No introductions. No expectations. No performance. By the time they meet again at the Meryton assembly, something has already begun between them. Something neither can quite name, and neither can dismiss. A Pride and Prejudice variation where a favorable first impression can make all the difference.
