This sweet, clean novella of approximately 22,000 begins months after the disastrous proposal at Hunsford. Both Elizabeth and Darcy have regretted their arrogant and angry words and longed for the chance to make amends. That chance comes when they meet again at a country house party. Reconciliation follows quickly but new and unexpected people and events work to keep them apart.Darcy: I was singing with Harry and Robertson, trying to be entertaining for the group gathered in the drawing room, when she walked into the room with a smile on her face. I initially thought the look of shock that replaced her smile was due to anger or even disgust at finding me there, but after a moment of my silence, her smile returned, and I read acceptance in her eyes. I realized in that instant that she was as glad to see me as I was to see her.Elizabeth: Is this really Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley? At a house party? Singing to entertain the guests? Except for his handsome face and deep blue eyes, I would swear this was an imposter.
