    Summary

    If Penelope could choose, she would have preferred to never meet Colin Bridgerton at all. If she never saw his face, if she didn’t know the sound of his voice, if she could make her mind forget him, erase him — she would have chosen it.

    Those were the lies she kept telling herself, anyway.

    “Penelope.”

    “Please do not marry her.”

    It just came flying out of her mouth, pulled unbidden by his achingly gentle whisper of her name.

    She felt him stiffen.

    “What?”

    OR

    An alternate ending to 1x04. Penelope runs to Eloise for comfort after her conversation with Marina, but finds Colin instead. Featuring a Polin hug.

    Summary

    Well. If this just doesn’t take the biscuit. Just when she thought the night couldn’t get any worse.

    “Are you mad? I would never court Penelope Featherington. Not in your wildest fantasies, Fife!”

    The boy she’s loved since she first laid eyes on him all those years ago, disparaging her for all the Ton to hear. She’d put up with it when he’d implied she did not count as a woman. Helped to free him from a planned entrapment by her own cousin, to her own family's detriment. Accepted that he only saw her as a friend. She had worked very hard on that part.

    Penelope is a lady. She does not curse. But this is a step too damn far.

    In one night she’s discovered her cousin Jack has been fleecing the Ton and has chosen to run, leaving the Featheringtons ruined and practically destitute. Her best friend Eloise has discovered that she is Lady Whistledown, declared them no longer friends and ravaged her bedroom. They had fought so viciously, words spoken in the heat of the moment, explanations and apologies ignored.

    Any other night she would have fled in tears at Colin’s words. But tonight? After all this? She is fuming.

This would be her second year attending and with her newly situated costumes this year she thinks things are finally looking up for her after everything she’s been through in the last few months.

    That might be all about to change when her best friend and ex neighbor, Colin Bridgerton, who she hasn’t spoken to or seen in a year, makes a surprise appearance for the first time since he left to travel abroad and they are pushed to reconnect with each other after a new type of card game is introduced day one of the festival.
