A forced marriage variation from Mr. Darcy's point of view

When Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy first sets eyes upon Miss Elizabeth Bennet, she makes little impression upon him. It is not until later, when she is standing in the breakfast parlor of Netherfield, inquiring after her sick sister, her hair all tumbled, her skirts muddy, her cheeks reddened, her eyes bright...

It is not until then he first thinks of her as breathtaking.

But it hardly matters. Elizabeth is not the sort of woman that Mr. Darcy can have much to do with. He certainly cannot marry her, not with her country attorney uncle or her relatives in Cheapside or her abominable mother.

He tells Miss Caroline Bingley that he could not marry the woman, and when Miss Elizabeth overhears, she runs off into the woods, and he pursues her, into an old and dilapidated house. Elizabeth goes up the stairs and he follows, and the stairs collapse under his weight.

Now, the two of them are trapped on the upper level of a decrepit house, all alone.

Certainly, someone will find them, of course.

Certainly, they will not be stuck here overnight.

Certainly, Mr. Darcy has not fallen into a trap, one of a breathtaking nature, one with fine, bright eyes and a feminine laugh and a light, pleasing figure.

Well, if he has to marry her, perhaps he can think of worse ways to be trapped.
