    Summary

    ㅤ🎶 And then I go and spoil it all

    by saying somethin’ stupid like I love you 🎶

    It all started when Penelope openly lost her marbles during the staff meeting, a week after their trip to Aubrey Hall.

    A single long weekend–meant for sweet marshmallow-roasting–had turned their bond of nearly two decades into a wreckage of silent suffering, stretching her resolve so thin she snapped. She wanted to claw her way out of her Colin-shaped bubble wrap because she couldn’t breathe anymore.

    So, why not pour gasoline on the fire in front of the whole office?

    All she wanted was to avoid him. All he wanted was for her to talk to him and tell him what broke her. The only communication–forced and charged with tension–begs the question: could the remains of their friendship vanishing before their eyes force them to see what they've both been too blind to admit, or will they insist on saying something stupid that isn't ”I love you”?

    Summary


     

    148 bpm. Who knew this would be the number that broke him?

    ـــــــــــــﮩ٨ـ❤️ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـــــــــــ

    Moments after Colin realizes he's in love with his best friend, he learns from his sister, Eloise, that Pen is in her room with her muscular new beau, Professor Debling, getting a 'vigorous exercise’ per their synced-up workout app.

    Tormented and heartbroken, Colin’s control shatters after a fateful run-in with a half-naked Alfred at midnight, when he shares his plans to whisk Pen away.

    He only meant to talk, but she answers the door in just a silk robe and Colin sees things he should not have, starting a relentless, agonizing game of truth and touch, designed to push Pen to the brink and force a confession Colin is terrified to hear: that he might be too late.

    They play dirty, hearts on edge.

    And the winner? The winner gets it all…

    Summary

    Penelope is doing her best to be a supportive best friend for Eloise's annual Galentine's Day dinner. But without a Valentine to celebrate with the next day, and her longtime crush Colin off on his travels, there's little for her to be excited about.

    That is, until Colin shows up unannounced, on a mission to make Penelope his. If only his family would stop getting in his way.

    Summary

    Welcome to My Best Friend Ride - aka the JoyRide (TM) AU

    Colin has a genius - and highly unconventional - idea for a new van service catering to best friends looking for... more, so much more... He just needs to convince his best friend, Penelope, to be his business partner to properly sell the "ultimate joy-ride experience."

    “How are we the perfect couple to sell a joyride for best friends?” She doesn't even hide the incredulity in her voice.

    “You know what? You're right, Pen!” A wicked thought forms in his mind. “We should go on our own joyride and take notes. You know, for… business reasons."

    Summary

    Kids,

    The moment I first saw your mother I knew she was The One. Fate, with its great sense of humor, had ensured I’ve been 🤏close to meeting her so many times before.

    I’ve met my fair share of insightful, interesting, intriguing, infuriating and intoxicating women in the wildest of circumstances: as a teenage pen pal, an online nemesis, a flirty discord situationship, even got myself a wedding plus-one from an online app. But these virtual romances always flickered; something was missing. And as if I wasn't trying hard enough, my meddling siblings conspired to set me up with a blind date for Daphne's wedding.

    The truth is, I was learning to trust this chaotic journey through life, despite the pain and self-doubt. Every connection, every goodbye, was merely another piece falling into place in an elaborate 3D puzzle, unveiling her as the woman I was meant to find.

    And the biggest lesson life taught me was this: true connection comes from the most unexpected sources, demanding we shed our masks. While revealing our true selves carries a price, for the right person, unfolding every hidden part of our heart is infinitely worth it.

    Because it led me to the love of my life.

    Summary

    The whimsical Christmas tale of how a pirate’s diary and a set of unforeseen events in the past surrounding golden rings brought Penelope and Colin together.

    “She wondered if the ring had brought him luck during his travels, if he had ever taken the time to read the pirate’s journal that had accompanied it? But the question that haunted her most was whether the myth tied to that ring had come true. Had it helped him find his true love, just as the legend foretold?”
