    Summary

    Because if her papa wasn’t a baron, she would never be able to live in Mayfair. If she didn’t live in Mayfair, she would have never knocked Colin off of his horse and if she never knocked Colin off his horse, she would have never fallen in love.

    She could have only ever loved Colin. Even if she never met him, she would have never been in love and she loved being in love, even when she hated it. Even when it hurt and it felt like her heart was bleeding out like a spilled ink pot.

    Penelope was made for Colin. Colin was made for the world.

    She feared marriage would not change that.

    -

    After the Butterfly Ball, Penelope is plagued by insecurities. Colin, as the product of a happy marriage, never expected her to feel this way.

    Summary

    It’s clear to Colin and everyone around them that George still has feelings for Marina but it’s unrequited. Marina promised Colin it is unrequited, murmuring that she just feels bad that George is unable to move past his first love.

    It’s pathetic. Colin moved on from Tessa easily. Anthony moved on from Siena. Daphne moved on from Frederick.

    “Penelope!” Portia called out, waving her daughter over.

    Colin throws back the last of his drink.

    And Penelope moved on from him.

    -

    After spending the last five years as a reluctant participant in a love triangle, Colin finds himself suddenly single at thirty-five. With a bruised ego and a broken heart, he's forced to rebuild his life.

    The perfect place to start is by fixing his friendship with his former best friend, Penelope Featherington, who finds herself in desperate need of a flatmate.

    Summary

    'I don't need your charity, Eloise,' Penelope said eventually, voice a little kinder, as she poured the boiling water into their mugs.

    Eloise's shoulders sagged, her demeanour uncharacteristically sullen. 'It's not charity. Believe it or not, my family would kill me if they knew I let you spend Christmas by yourself. Most of them really, really like you.'

    Penelope raised an eyebrow at the choice of words, but she didn't reply. She couldn't deny it. She knew the Bridgertons adored her; they had, in fact, treated her like family since childhood. That there was one sibling who kept his distance stung in ways she could never explain to his sister, so she never mentioned it. But Eloise had, of course, noticed.

    or

    Eloise invites Penelope over for Christmas, since her mother and sisters have moved to Cornwall. Penelope has various reasons to decline, most of which Eloise can guess, and one that she could never fathom.
