Accidental Affection · A Pride & Prejudice Variation

This is a short, cute romp into the world of Elizabeth and Darcy's.

Months have passed since the Bennets and the Bingleys last saw one another at the Netherfield Ball in November. When Charles Bingley returns to Hertfordshire, he is once again struck with the idea of planning another party and invites the Bennets at once. Elizabeth is happy at least that Mr. Darcy is not one of the party.

That is, until he shows up at Netherfield with blood trickling from a head wound and confessing his admiration for her. Not only that, he seems to be confused by the date, thinking that they are once again at the ball in November.

Despite his obvious injuries, Elizabeth quite likes the demeanor of this open Darcy who is eager to please and smile. She finds herself warming to him, overcome with his attentions. But when his memory starts to return, will Darcy once again be his prideful self? Or did the head injury just allow Darcy to loosen up the reigns and show his true character?

This is a 6,500 word short story Pride Prejudice variation for all readers.
