A Lively Companion

A variation of Pride and Prejudice, bringing your favorite romantic couple together in a whole new way!
Elizabeth Bennet is more insulted than flattered when Lady Catherine asks her to be a temporary companion to her daughter. Elizabeth confidently rejects the plan, but when her father reveals that he has had a catastrophic investment, she accepts after all. A summer visit to Tunbridge Wells is no great hardship, she reasons, even if Lady Catherine is dictatorial and eccentric. She doesn't count on Mr. Darcy accompanying them...
When Mr. Darcy realizes Elizabeth is not going home to Hertfordshire as planned, he feels foolish for nearly proposing in a rush. Determined to make up his mind one way or another, he makes efforts to know Elizabeth better over the summer.
While Anne de Bourgh dutifully drinks the waters of Tunbridge, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth navigate their continued proximity with very different goals. In a situation that magnifies Mr. Darcy's worst tendencies and scrapes Elizabeth's sensibilities raw, how will they find love?
It's a summer trip full of unexpected attraction, conniving relatives, and emotional revelations.
