    Summary

    "I had hoped," he said cautiously, "that my declaration might have improved me somewhat in your estimation."

    "It has not." A pause. Elizabeth prayed for someone, anyone, to come and save her from this conversation. "You are still the most alarming man I know." At that, unexpectedly, his expression gentled. Alarmingly.

    "And yet," he said quietly, "you said yes." The worst part was that he did not sound triumphant. Elizabeth could have endured triumph. She was prepared for self congratulation of heroic proportions. What she had not prepared for was this bewildered sort of hope, as though he genuinely could not believe she had chosen him. Which by anyone's estimations was an absurd notion. He was Fitzwilliam Darcy, after all. Filthy rich, handsome, absurdly well connected, and currently looking at her like she had personally invented happiness.

    In which Elizabeth accepts Darcy's first proposal in order to provide for her family. What begins as a simple business arrangement for Elizabeth quickly turns into an unexpected discovery of the truth of Darcy that lies beneath his arrogant exterior.
