    Summary

    The plan is this: come home, get a real job, stop running away from the only woman he has ever truly wanted, and make Penelope Featherington see him as something other than her goofy, perpetually wandering best friend.

    The plan is simple and elegant, and all sorted—except for that final little bullet point. No big deal.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    To Colin, the narrative is clear. The sweet sidekick best friend is going to end up with the main character, everyone will cheer, they'll all worship at the altar of a series well done and then beg their mum to let them start series five instead of going to bed. She'll almost immediately cave, allowing quick toilet breaks and re-fluffing of pillows (maybe even an exchange of blankets) before they all settle back into the cosy pile that is their Friday nights.

    But here is the problem, and it's a problem that they have never had before when watching a film or show together: Penelope Featherington disagrees with him.

    Disagrees. With him.

    She seems irked every time he brings up the couple's very clear soulmatism, which is getting on Colin's nerves because he's right, and no matter what show they're watching, Penelope has always agreed before.

    So what's different this time?

    Summary

    ‘Cho?’ He asked, his voice breathless. ‘You chose to dance with Cho?’
    ‘He requested. It would have been impolite to say no.’

    ~

    Penelope dances with a suitor. Colin doesn't like it.
