    Summary

    Penelope is a 25-year-old book editor in London, enjoying a life where she shares a flat with her best friend, gets promoted quickly at work, and spends her time with her friends and pseudo-family, the Bridgertons. She has all the makings of a happy life.

    She's spent years adjusting to the ache in her gut. She's always expected to live with it, to grow around it, and to maybe find some semblance of happiness knowing she would never soothe the pain that consumed her. She tries to put herself out there, to move on, to accept reality. No matter how hard she tries to fall out of love with him, Colin always finds ways to worm his way back into her heart, putting her right back where she started.

    Will she be able to move on? Will she figure out how to live with the pain? Or will the last thing on earth she ever expected to happen finally become real? Could Colin Bridgerton ever love Penelope Featherington?

    Summary

    “We’re friends. I’m happy to do you a favour.”

    She really does mean it. There is nothing Penelope wouldn’t do for Colin Bridgerton.

    But then he raises his eyebrows, clears his throat, and says, “I was wondering if you might consider letting me fuck you and pretend that I am trying to get you pregnant.” He pauses, pondering before he adds: “Please.”

    ---

    Or, after a series of increasingly unhinged sex dreams, Colin asks Penelope if he can roleplay getting her pregnant. Platonically, of course. That should get it out of his system.

    Summary

    The night Penelope is asked the most important question of her life, she is wearing a hot pink feather boa. With sparkles, and a sparkly pink penis tiara to match. Naturally. 

    The question is not will you marry me, which should have been the most important question of her life (a fact of which she is perfectly aware, thank you very much). It is not do you, Penelope Featherington, take Alfred Debling to be your lawfully wedded husband, because she has a few days left before their officiant asks her that particular question.

    “I’m sorry,” Penelope says. “What did you say?” 

    She’d heard him, but she’s drunk in a hot pink feather boa and a penis crown and surely Colin Bridgerton cannot be asking her about regrets.

    Summary

    Train passes by outside. She conjures up the image of its shadows covering him in darkness whenever he is there, lying next to her. He always looks that much more real when the train is finally out of sight, and she can see his face once more.

    Summary

    After Ivan, the city swallowed Ani back up like she had never left.
    The same streets, the same routines, the same numb haze. It was easier that way.
    Until one night, weeks later, when the past caught up to her in the form of an old, shitty car idling outside the club.
