Summary
“I—” she stared up at him and said in a small voice, “it’s too much to ask of you.”
“It’s not,” Colin said firmly. “Don’t overthink it,” he urged her.
Ten minutes ago, she had no home and no chance that she would ever know where her dad was. Colin had just walked into the room and taken control of everything within a matter of minutes, like her own personal white knight.
“Just let someone take care of you for once.”
In which Colin slowly, inadvertently, and inevitably becomes Penelope’s sugar daddy.

Summary
“Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.
“Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.
“Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.
It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.
With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn't understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.

Summary
“It’s not as though you are in love with Penelope,” Eloise says.
She catches the tiny change in Colin's expression: a barely there wince. It takes her a moment to grasp the implications of it.
“Oh,” she whispers.
—
“It’s not as if you would actually wish for Colin to court you, so his words from last season need not signify,” Eloise says.
Penelope cringes.
“Oh,” Eloise says. Again.
—
In which Penelope resolves to keep her friendship with Colin perfectly proper, Colin attempts to truly know Penelope, and Eloise knows everything.

Summary
As Colin looked at the pair from across the ballroom, the jealousy bloomed grotesquely in his chest, like a large carnivorous plant that threatened to swallow him whole. When Penelope took Lumley by the elbow, Colin felt a phantom weight at his own side, taking his arm. In that moment, he could not help the image that flashed into his mind— Penelope on his arm, beaming up at him. Her eyes were shining as they usually did in those small moments between just the two of them. The jealousy was overtaken by something else, a kind of…yearning. To have Penelope at his side, to have her look at him like that again.
It was at exactly that moment that Penelope turned to scan the ballroom, and her gaze caught his.
Oh.
Oh.

Yet another addition to the world of Season 3 speculation! This will definitely follow show canon more than book canon, with some references to the book along the way.
