By proving his friend wrong, he might just make everything right.
For the better part of an afternoon at Netherfield, Charles Bingley has listened to his sister promote herself to his best friend, Fitzwilliam Darcy. And for the same amount of time, he's observed his friend trying not to give in to his desire to admire Miss Elizabeth Bennet. When the discussion turns to the qualifications of an accomplished lady, he listens closely and knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that marrying such a lady would only bring sorrow to his friend.
After the ladies have left the room, he attempts to address the issue in a friendly sort of manner. However, when Darcy goes a step too far in sharing his opinions of the lady Bingley loves, friendly tactics are tossed aside in favour of a more direct and calculated approach.

If you're looking for a romantic and entertaining escape from the everyday, then you'll enjoy this story where a determined Bingley does what he must to secure not only his own happily ever after, but also that of his friend.
