    Summary

    Colin had sworn to not two, not three, but four people he would not be in attendance: Eloise, Daphne, his mother, and Benedict. But Pen wouldn’t have come if she knew he was going to be in attendance, and Penelope needs his family nearly as much as she needs a holiday. He can’t let her vanish from their lives just because he’d hurt her feelings. That’s Colin’s fault, not Penelope’s. That’s his punishment to bear.

    It’s just that the punishment is staying away from Penelope, and Colin can’t quite stand the thought of bearing it all the way.

    --

    Or, Penelope Featherington gets severely sunburned and Colin Bridgerton is just trying to get the girl.

    Summary

    “Colin, you do realise you’re getting jealous of a dog, right?”

     

    “He has every right to be jealous!” Anthony defended instantly. “Newton’s reign of terror has gone on long enough!”

     

    “Reign of terror?” Kate snorted. “Be serious, Anth-”

     

    “No, no, he’s right.” Simon jumped in.

     

    Daphne shook her head, whether it was in disappointment or amusement, Penelope couldn’t tell. “Oh, Simon, not you too.”

     

    “Whenever Newton picks a favourite, one of us has to lose our wife, and not just for an afternoon, for months.”

     

    “Yeah! I miss my wife!”

     

    “Colin, I’m not your wife.” Penelope reminded him, holding up her ringless hand.

     

    “Not officially.”

    In which, Newton figures out Penelope's pregnant before she does, Colin develops beef with a dog, and a longstanding battle between Newton and all the Bridgerton men is unearthed.

    Summary

    “Are you sure you’re okay?” She looked up at him through her pale eyelashes, a small hand reaching out to gently touch his forearm sending sparks through his body. “You seem… different.”

    How could he explain that he seemed different because he was different? What words could he string together to convey that suddenly he looked at her and he really saw her and now he can’t unsee her? What explanation could justify his foolishness for not having seen it sooner? For letting things get this far? For acting so out of character the past twenty-four hours? How could he describe the wave of anxiety consuming him from his toes to his eyeballs? The undeniable urge taking over his body to grab her, pull her into his arms, and kiss her until neither of them could breathe?

    “I’m fine. Just tired, I guess.”

    Penelope dropped her hand and he felt cold at the loss of her. “Okay then.”

    --

    Teenaged Colin spirals after seeing Penelope kiss someone else at a party and realizing for the first time that he views her as so much more than a friend.
