Summary
Some love stories begin with an unexpected meeting.
Colin and Penelope’s began with a promise.
They were only fifteen when they fell in love, convinced that what they had was simple, eternal, unbreakable. For years, it was.
But time has a way of pulling people apart. Colin became consumed by work, travel, and responsibilities. Penelope stayed behind, filling the spaces he left empty, until she began to disappear from his sight altogether.
What was once effortless love became silence. What was once certainty became doubt.
After eighteen years together and fourteen years of marriage, one devastating argument changes everything. A slammed door. A business trip. A goodbye that never came.
Penelope refuses to let their story end without a fight. Determined to save the marriage she still believes in, she follows Colin before the distance between them becomes impossible to cross.
But some journeys change everything.
And some doors should never be opened unless you’re ready for what’s waiting on the other side.
Penelope wasn’t.
Because when she finally finds Colin, he isn’t alone.

Summary
When Penelope Featherington finds herself still unmarried at the ripe old age of five and twenty, she is forced to become a governess for a wealthy little girl. Unfortunately, working as a governess affords a woman much fewer freedoms than Penelope is used to, meaning she has no control over the situation when her job brings her uncomfortably close to her ex-fiancé Colin.
Or, a Jane Eyre Au.

Summary
Dear Colin Bridgerton,
As I understand it, this must be a farewell.
Penelope’s fingers shake as she wraps them around her quill. Her eyes slide towards the crumpled pieces of paper scattered at the foot of her desk, wondering if such unrequited fantasy is even worth her tortured ink.
Or. A s1 AU in which instead of a Whistledown column, Penelope writes a letter to Colin the night before he and Marina plan to elope.
