Hi everyone! I remembered recently a story which I read a lot of time ago (at this site I think) but not its title or author. In it Darcy is engaged to Caroline and has to travel to his own engagement party in another city. Caroline is impatiently expecting him but his flight is delayed. He has to look for alternative ways of travel, and when doing so he meets Elizabeth, who also has to go to the same city than him, or nearby. Their trip is slow and complicated, but he falls in love with her, and when they finally reach his destination he tells her that he will break up with Caroline to be with her, because never in his life (certainly not during his time going out with Caroline) he had been so happy like while traveling in uncomfortable ways with her for a couple of days (I believe it was the duration of their trip). I'm not sure if my description of this story is exact, it's been years since I read it, but I hope someone can identify it and tell me its title and/or author.
