Hello!
I'm looking for a story where Elizabeth and Darcy are interrupted during the Hunsford proposal, so that Elizabeth never gets to refuse and Darcy assumes her acceptance. I don't remember exactly how they are interrupted, but the end result is that they get engaged.
It might have been Mr Collins interrupting them, and crying scandal because they were alone together? And Darcy jumping in to say they were actually engaged. Or it might have been Charlotte, with news of a tragedy at Longbourn, and Darcy taking charge of things, assuming he was now engaged to Elizabeth. Or maybe they are two different stories? The one thing I am sure of is that the first proposal gets interrupted and at the end Elizabeth and Darcy are engaged.
Anyway, if any of this sounds familiar, please leave a reply!
