Summary
Penelope had been certain — certain! — that Colin would one day return her affections.
When his head is turned instead by her cousin Marina, Penelope must admit she was wrong.
After no small amount of crying, Penelope decides she will move on. That she will find a husband. That she will be kissed.
One question lingers in the back of her mind — why on earth does Colin look so stricken to find her doing just that?

Summary
As they separated and bowed, Penelope’s heart was wildly trilling, her chest heaving as she fought the sudden breathlessness that had nothing to do with physical exertion, and everything to do with the anxiety over what was to come. She caught Colin’s gaze when she turned away from Mr Lennix, a small, victorious smile playing on her lips when she saw his hand flex at his side.
She paused and subtly curtsied, drawing their little game to a close with the single move. She’d achieved her goal; she’d been seen. Colin’s response was a simple tick of his jaw, his eyes narrowing at her.
A renewed challenge.

Summary
Had it been anyone else, Penelope would have felt pity for them. But for Colin, she only felt anger. Why did he have to be so foolishly kind!
This time, she supposed, she must tell him so. "Being kind is one thing, but you are being foolish, as you have already been told plenty of times! Do you believe loving her would be enough to make her happy, to make her love you back? Colin, do you understand what it feels like to live... in the vicinity of the person you love when they do not return your feelings? Have you ever considered if you would be able to happily spend your life with someone who does not love you?"
Colin was lost. He had only thought if he loved Marina to the fullest she would begin to love him one day, that perhaps he could make her happy, take all her miseries away. But now he questioned if he was even capable of loving her like that. Colin didn't want a marriage only for the sake of duty. He wouldn't survive a marriage as such.
Or
In the aftermath of Colin's visit to Romney Hall, Colin and Penelope very conveniently entrap each other in a marriage neither of them are ready for.

multichap fic I will correct the chapter count on update.
Whistledown exists, Colin didn’t make any foolish declarations in the Featherington gardens, Penelope and Eloise are grand. Prudence is still unmarried. This started out as a purely crack fic but I accidentally kept adding plot and making myself cry. There is still quite a lot of crack though. If you crave period accuracy, sorry. I researched some bits with fervour and then hugged an anachronism or two for the giggles.
I’m trying to be consistent, but I make the rules and my brain is wonky).Bookmarked by Beemyhome
