From the very beginning, from the first moment I may almost say, of my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form that ground-work of disapprobation, on which succeeding events have built so immoveable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry. Mr Darcy is left despondent after Elizabeth Bennet's rejection of him in Kent. His cousins, Colonel Fitzwilliam and Viscount Saye hit upon an unconventional solution to help him; they believe they can fabricate a second chance for him to make a first impression on his beloved Elizabeth. Darcy returns to Meryton hoping the disguise he wears will make the man he is more clear but will it lead to a happily ever after. The First Moment of Their Acquaintance is a short story previously published as part of the An Inducement into Matrimony anthology. The content is clean and low angst and the trope is an enemies to lovers, second chance romance.
