    Summary

    Imagine if Charlotte Lucas's plan to capture Mr. Collins backfires. Then imagine if Mr Darcy's snide comments at the Netherfield Ball were aimed at Charlotte, not Elizabeth Bennet.

    What happens when you lose hope altogether? What happens when you and your best friend feel that you don't understand each other at all, and you're not talking?

    And what matters most - nobility of rank, or nobility of character?

    UPDATE November 2024: Thanks to some kind feedback from deniseks_syd, I have made sure that the first ball is at Lucas Lodge, not at Netherfield as I'd previously written. As such, those who've read the story before will notice some slight wording changes in the first few chapters.
