Fitzwilliam Darcy was exhausted from his ride from Pemberley back to town. Just the day before, in Lambton, he saw Elizabeth Bennet, the young woman who he loved. She was broken hearted and in tears on learning of her youngest sister running off with George Wickham.
Darcy had to find them and make them marry and he drove himself to that end, for unless they were married, the Bennets of Longbourn would be disgraced. If that happened, Elizabeth and her other sisters might never have a good offer of marriage.
He had proposed to Elizabeth weeks earlier in Hunsford, where she had rejected him, but he did not give up hope that one day she might love him. He had not seen her since that day she left Lambton, but now he had returned with his sister. Darcy had returned to stand up for his good friend, Mr. Bingley, who would soon marry Elizabeth’s eldest sister, Jane.
Darcy’s feelings for Elizabeth were steady but she now saw him differently. He had changed. She believed it was from her reproofs, but she also knew that her feelings for him had changed.
Love was in the air and both Darcy and Elizabeth sensed that this was their time, but would he propose again and how would he be certain that she would accept him?
