Summary
"At any rate, I am not going to marry soon," Colin grumbled, sending his older brothers a glare. Then, with a slight rise in his voice for finality, he said just about the stupidest thing of his life. "And I am certainly not going to marry Penelope Featherington!"
“Oh.”
And so begins a lengthy love story... 7 years later. But what if we delve deeper into those 7 years? What if we get to watch Penelope and Colin change and mold as individuals and as a friendship throughout that time? What if Polin was the slow burn I so very crave, my Dear Reader?
Read and find out.

Summary
After 10 months of silence, Penelope and Colin are gifted by the broken elevator gods the perfect opportunity to talk things out.
––––
As a television-obsessed pre-teen turned adult whose personality developed out of an obsession with Grey’s Anatomy as a ten-year-old, I can’t help but love a chaotic turned romantic elevator moment. I’m a semi-long-time lurker and first-time writer, throwing my hat in the ring for Polin week with this belated forced proximity number.

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.
