The Second Chance

The Second Chance Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility Variation

Joana Starnes2014
Soon after the Netherfield ball, a troubled Mr. Darcy decides to walk away from a most unsuitable fascination. But heartache is in store for them all, and his misguided attempts to ensure the comfort of the woman he loves backfire in ways he had not expected... Why is it that the worth of a true blessing is never felt as keenly as when it seems to have become quite out of reach? In this tale of 'Pride & Prejudice meets Sense & Sensibility', Mr. Darcy is compelled to reflect on this very question, as he struggles to come to terms with the effects of his wrong choices, and fervently hope for a second chance at finding happiness. “Well, Sir, what shall it be? The joy of music or of the printed word?” she asked, in a manner so highly reminiscent of their past interactions as to make him almost giddy with renewed hope. "The joy of you. My greatest folly was to ever walk away from it!"
