Summary
As illogical as it is, the whole thing is Justin Timberlake’s fault.
Wherein these two idiots watch the movie Friends with Benefits, discuss the merits (and lack thereof) of such a thing, and then decide, like the dummies they are, to maybe, possibly... give it a go?
It goes about as well as one could expect.

Colin to Pen
9 Dec
[07:03]Colin: I need a favour
Colin: also hi
Colin: good morningThe phone vibrates against the bathroom counter, and Penelope hates the way her heart does this little flip in her chest at the sight of his name flickering at the top of her notifications. She stills, eyeliner poised in her hand, and contemplates answering. He never texts this early, so it is likely whatever he needs is important.
But she is running late.
And, more importantly, she is trying to be better about these sorts of things.

Summary
She was the one who finally broke the silence, “Will you go back to New York after the cruise?”
Colin met her eyes. “No, I’m coming back here.”
“Until the wedding?”
“For as long as it takes.”
She cleared her throat. “For as long as what takes?”
“For as long as it takes to convince you to give us another chance,” Colin spoke slowly, clearly, watching her closely for a reaction, “or to convince myself that you really don’t love me anymore.”

Summary
“This is my fault,” the Viscount said. “I should have taken him to a brothel long ago.” He gulped down his drink. “I should take him now.”
“What use would it have?” Benedict asked. “He’s already engaged, he’d reject the offer in favour of his beloved fiancé.”
“Beloved?” Anthony laughed humorlessly. “He’s too green. I bet you all it’d take for him to abandon this nonsense is to find a willing girl to wet his wick with.”
“What does that mean?” Penelope asked. She did not mean to, but the prospect of Colin saving himself from entrapment prompted her to blurt the question out.
After accidently hearing a rather crude declaration from Colin's older brother, Penelope decides to put the put it to the test.

Summary
“Well, I heard in town that you were looking for some help digging a well. And I thought I might provide my services.”
Penelope stared at him. “Now why on God’s green earth would you want to do that?” she asked, more bluntly than was perhaps proper for a young lady. “We can’t pay you.” Their father had left them with almost nothing, save this land and the house they were standing on. It was a pretty nice house - better than some of the others in the area - but life was hard.
He shook his head and turned his hat over in his hands. “No, I didn’t expect you could. I hoped you might instead pay me in kind.”
Penelope’s cheeks flushed red and she looked down, her hands smoothing the faded yellow cotton of her day dress. She didn’t suppose he meant what it sounded like he meant, being a gentleman and all, but the idea of Colin Bridgerton taking that sort of payment from her made her cheeks hot.

Summary
Penelope Featherington has been trying to get over her crush on her best friend Colin Bridgerton for the last several years. It should be pretty easy to do considering he spends the vast majority of his time away from London and in far off corners of the world as part of his travel writing and social media enterprises. He’s never around and she only sees him a couple of times a year at most. However, it turns out her problem in being unable to get over him has nothing to do with how often she spends time with him in-person. Her problem is the telephone.
--
Or, the one where Penelope and Colin start having phone sex as “friends.”
