Summary
**NOTE: Added another chapter in July and will add an epilogue.
What if at the end of Season 2, Benedict encouraged Penelope to confess her feelings to Colin. What if Penelope and Benedict heard Colin's horrible words and Colin found out? What if Colin had a semi-good reason for saying he'd never court Penelope?
This is a reimagining of the end of Season 2 and Colin and Penelope's HEA.

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
Ignoring his impending death from embarrassment, Colin quickly put on his hazards and got out of the car, moving to the back to remove Penelope’s suitcase from the trunk. As he joined her on the sidewalk he saw her snickering at a new sign right next to where he’d parked.
In bright blue, the sign proudly stated:
Kiss and goodbye
(No kisses above 3 minutes!)
Colin blinked at the words, reading them a few times in his head.
Penelope was still giggling when Colin’s brain simply stopped functioning and he let his mouth take over.
“Well, I guess we have to kiss.”
She blinked at him.
He gestured uselessly at the sign with one hand. “The sign. We have to kiss goodbye.”
***
They HAD to kiss goodbye! 🙂↕️
