Summary
"Welcome home," she said, and heard the brittleness in her own voice, the mockery of the sentiment.
"This has not been home for some time, madam. For either of us."
Then he was gone, and Elizabeth was left in her carefully claimed sitting room, staring at a book she could not read, wondering how they had arrived at this--two people bound together by law and circumstance, which neither could escape, circling each other like wounded animals in a house too small for their shared misery.
***

Summary
He looked out toward the sea. "I thought it better not to intrude by presuming your notice after--" he faltered, then said with effort, "after all that has passed between us. I believed it would be unwelcome."
"Is it your habit," she asked with the faintest smile, "to determine a lady's preferences without consultation?"

***
The summer after Mr. Darcy's disasturous proposal, Elizabeth encounters him at the seaside instead of at his home after her travel plans change unexpectedly. There, she discovers the pleasures of both the seaside and the man she unexpectedly shares it with.
