    Summary

    At Eloise's wedding, Colin hatches a plan to pretend to be dating Penelope, creating wild and elaborate stories. However, when one story hits too close to be fake, the pair have to face some home truths.

     

    ("You want me to fake date you at your sister's wedding?"

    "Yes." He says simply, in all seriousness. "But we commit to the bit. Fully. We make it weird. Every crazy idea you could possibly have, we do. No matter how wacky, we tell people about it. We could have a lot of fun with it."

    Selfishly, she thinks it would show her what it would be like to be his. Just for one night.)

    Summary

    “Penelope”, Colin Bridgerton in the flesh is standing right in front of her, looking as distraught as she feels. The man is wearing what she imagines are his travel clothes, sweat all over his face, and keeps clutching at her for dear life. He made it to the wedding, after all. 

    “What are you…” she starts asking, but is quickly interrupted by her friend. 

    “Pass out, Pen. An unconscious bride can’t get married”, he instructs, eyes boring into her with a fierceness she’s never seen before, arms holding her steady as if saying “I’ll catch you. Let go”.

    Summary

    “Soooo Maria, Colin told you about his very real lawyer job. What else did he tell you about his personal life, anything of note?” Penelope interjected across the table.

    “Truly nothing. I was actually telling him about how I recognized his very handsome face from the billboards like Debling”

    Colin knew without a doubt he was handsome, but hearing the words come out of Marina’s mouth made him internally cringe the first time. It felt even worse the second time hearing her say it, especially in front of the one and only person he wanted to hear it from who was at present staring him down in disbelief at the words that came out of Marina's mouth.

    “Oh Col, how wonderful she thinks you are handsome!” Penelope replied while looking at him with false enthusiasm.

    or

    Penelope and Colin decide to meet for drinks at Mondrich's and it turns into a double date from hell.

    Summary

    She quirked an eyebrow, not sure exactly what was going on but open to humouring him. Moving slower this time, more deliberately, she brought her finger back to her lips, but this time she stuck her tongue out and licked the creamy substance from the pad of her fingertip, only bringing her tongue back into her mouth once it was fully clean. 

    She’d maintained eye contact with her boyfriend the whole time, and was equal parts turned on and fascinated by the fact that he was whimpering by the time her little show was over. 

    “Pen, I’m gonna need you not to judge what happens next and just trust me that it’ll be really, really good. Get your arse to the bedroom. Now.” As an afterthought, he added, “Please.”

    “But the dishes,” she protested half-heartedly, clearly just poking the bear at this point.

    Fuck the dishes,” he said, already standing up and walking around to her chair. “I’ll set them on fucking fire if we’re not in the bedroom in the next five seconds.”

    ***

    Colin and Pen stop using condoms and Colin discovers a new obsession.
