She's supposed to be celebrating, but Elizabeth Bennet is left wondering at the disgusting man eating her antipasto, why Charlotte is sparing him a second glance, and why a handsome stranger feels compelled to save her when Jane and Charlotte ditch her. Modern short story; rated M. 13 December 16: only the first chapter remains - see my profile for the how and the why, if you wish.

Elizabeth is a young single mom of 2. Abandoned by the twin's father when she found out at 17. She has risen from it and runs a daycare and lives just a few doors down from her sister Jane and her fiance Charles. It is at their wedding that she meets William Darcy. The judgmental jerk who points out all the problems of a young girl raising kids without a father. *Changed Rating*

What if Elizabeth had a special talent that made her feel even more apt at forming opinions about people? What if even this special gift couldn't help her figure out the mysterious Darcy? Modern P&P with supernatural twist.

What might have happened if Elizabeth really was as good at reading people as she first seemed to think she was, if Darcy had better manners, and if there was a special friend to help them along...
