    Summary

    In a world where the marriage ritual leaves a permanent mark on you, the word that reflects your match’s first impression of you appears in your skin.

    —•—

    Penelope had known since she was eight years old who she would marry. She had heard stories about him, how brave and noble he was, and spent her whole life in love with the boy in the picture.

    Something that had never crossed Penelope’s mind, however, was the possibility that Colin Bridgerton would be disappointed upon meeting her.

    “Speak now, Penelope, with clarity and conviction. What is the word, bestowed upon you by the gentleman ordained as your match, that defines you in his eyes?”

    The celebrant’s voice suddenly felt like a distant hum, her vision blurred by the tears welling up in her eyes. On her wrist, visible to anyone close enough to read it, was written her word with golden letters.
     

    Shallow.

    Summary

    It is his sister’s wedding breakfast when Colin overhears the woman he has been courting talking to Lady Featherington – and before he knew it, he is engaged. To Penelope. Penelope, who is decidedly not the woman he has been courting.
    By God, he has not so much as gifted her a single bouquet of flowers, which one surely ought to have done before speaking ones vows. Guilt was eating at him. He feared an entire florist shop would not make up for his actions.

    Summary

    This doesn’t have to change anything if you don’t want it to. And it won’t. It can’t. If this is the only way she can have Colin, then it is okay. She cannot run away from him again. She won’t run away from him again. Friends can hook up. Friends can be normal after hooking up. She won’t ruin this. She won’t be the reason their friendship gets ruined. She can’t be. She would rather die.
