Summary
A year ago, Colin was still searching every corner of the earth he could get to for a purpose.
A year later, in the house across the Square from his childhood home, he has found more purpose than most do in a lifetime.
He is grateful for all of it. Joyful, disbelieving at his own luck, and endlessly grateful.
But it is quite a lot to balance, now. He wonders often if he is truly up to the task.
_____
This is second in a series of Married Polin stories in which Colin and Penelope navigate what Happily Ever After actually looks like. Just because an initial love story gets a happy ending does not mean everything comes easily. There is work to maintain that HEA. Happy work. Work that is worth it. But still: WORK.

Summary
Modern AU
Colin Bridgerton is a travel influencer, who is in love with his best friend. He knows that she would never see him as a series prospect though. She's smart and ambitious and she dates research scientists. He is also harboring another secret that isn't too keen on anyone finding out.
Penelope has always wanted to be a published writer, but the modern landscape favors Social Media influencers. So she turned to her best friend, Social Media Influencer, Colin Bridgerton. If they start to fake date it'll give her the cred she needs to get a real book deal. It shouldn't matter that she's been in love with him since she was 16. She's never acted on her feelings before and this won't change anything. Right?
This completely chaotic fic is a challenge to myself to see how many 100 prompt sentences I can fit into one fic.
