I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end.
-- Drew Barrymore
Pride and Prejudice is nothing without all the coincidences.
This is a very short, bittersweet story of what could have happened if those coincidental meetings hadn’t occurred.
Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future. -- Fulton Oursler

Trigger Warning: If you cannot bear a world where Darcy & Lizzy didn't marry don't read this.
This is a melancholy P&P what if that asks what would have happened if Lizzy didn't go to Kent? And then she and Darcy never reacquainted and thus he had nothing to do with her family when Lydia disappeared; and Lydia was never found and the Bennets fell in status and Bingley never returned....
Then 30+ years later she; happily married to farmer with £500 / year and six children reads of Darcy's son's wedding.

“I don’t believe in regrets. There are a few things I’d do differently, but I can’t go back in time and redo them, however much I might wish to. All I can do is learn from past mistakes and move forward.” Malorie Blackman
A missed opportunity, a path not taken changed everything. Pilots, whether air or boat, know that to change a course, or deviate but a tiny fraction, results in missing the destination by miles. The further out you go, the further away you are from your destination.
This is the situation with ODC [our dear couple]. Due to Charlotte being ill, Elizabeth never made the trip to Kent. It was on that visit that Elizabeth would find out Darcy’s true feelings for her. Up until that time she had no idea. Also, it was during that visit that she had her conversation with our dear Colonel and discovered Darcy was instrumental in separating Jane and Bingley. She suspected it, but until that moment, she didn’t know for sure. Changing those events… changed everything… no proposal, no letter, no knowledge of Wickham’s faults.
I wanted to cry… and rail at the author. I hate stories where D & E marry others. It just seems wrong. However, this turned out to be a good life for Elizabeth. How could she regret something she never knew was a possibility for her? How could she expect anything other than the hand she had been dealt? I had to admit that I admired her for living her best life. She played the cards she was dealt and made the best of it that she could. That’s all any of us can expect.
Rating: short, clean, except for a steamy scene between a married couple. It was something like an ‘afternoon delight’ so to speak. Nothing graphic, but… Oh, so suggestive.

This is a very melancholic, but realistic short story.

This is not a D&E HEA, and yet, it is well written, short and very bittersweet.
An interesting read !!

An article in the society column announcing Mr. Darcy's son getting married sparks this short story.
It a picture of what Elizabeth's world would have looked like if Elizabeth or Jane would have never seen Darcy again after he left Netherfield. It sees her nicely settled, but reminiscing with her husband on all the things that could have or should have been done.
