    Summary

    Colin abandons his travels to head home early because Penelope refuses to respond to him. He is bound and determined to get to the bottom of this when he returns, but a nasty storm hits while at sea making him feel he will never make it home as he is knocked unconscious and heading towards the bottom of the ocean.

    Meanwhile

    Penelope receives yet another one of Colin’s letters stating he is returning early because he cannot focus on anything but her and why she wasn’t responding to him. The last thing he put in his letter was “prepare yourself.” What a joke. That was until she had unannounced visitors claiming that Colin was gone! She should have wrote to him. She should have told him why she was angry. She should have done something besides ignore him. Now he was gone…
    …and it was all her fault.

    I will eventually change the rating for this but we have a bit before that happens. 😁

    Summary

    He’d been enjoying his time in Thailand but home, with its graveyard of brownery and Penelope (Penelope), inspired Colin to cut his trip short by a week. Besides, he had to know if Lady Whistledown, the lady palm proven impossible to kill, had finally received comeuppance for her addiction to talking shit.

    Mostly, though, he was resolved.

    Colin didn’t want to dance around this anymore. He ascribed to Harry Burns’ school of thought on romance and every moment spent trying to feign indifference felt like a waste. He was going home, and he was going to make her witness what she did to him. No more pretending.

    or

    Penelope asks Colin to take her nudes.

    Summary

    “Do not mind your Auntie Eloise,” Colin said lightly, and Pen’s heart thrummed in her chest as he rushed in and scooped Augie from his sister’s inept grasp. “She’s too busy reading to notice anything else, as usual.”

    Penelope’s breath caught as Colin’s voice shifted, softening, lifting a note as he spoke to the baby. She stood next to him as he arranged Augie’s bum to rest on his right arm, against his side, his back supported securely with his other hand.

    It came to him so naturally.

    ✦✧✦✧

    It's 1814, and instead of arriving with the rest of the ton before the Hearts and Flowers Ball, Penelope tags along with the Bridgertons and Sharmas a few days early. Before the Bridgertons' annual game of Pall Mall, Penelope meets little Augie Basset…and sees Colin hold a baby for the first time. Something inside of her ignites, and suddenly she desperately needs to know precisely how babies are made so she can acquire one of her own.

    Colin, despite his recent visit to Marina and questioning of his own future plans for children, is more than happy to help.

    Summary

    Pen and Colin are at an emotional stalemate. It's been a week since they blew up at each other in front of all Bridgerton siblings, a week since Pen's boyfriend Al dumped her because he thinks she has feelings for Colin. And now she's doing Christmas Day with the Bridgertons. God, Pen just wanted to be normal about Colin. She's tried really hard to be normal about Colin, just, SO normal. It is becoming increasingly clear that she simply cannot be normal about Colin.
