   Summary

   It wasn’t normal for them not to see each other as soon as he was back, and she knew he’d be upset, but selfishly Penelope really wanted to try and move on from him, and make things work with the new guy in her life, she liked him and he seemed to like her too. They’d been seeing each other for a few weeks and she didn’t want Colin to derail things.

   So she bought herself more time before seeing Colin again. Better to focus on possibility, she'd told herself.

   But then they'd had a fight.
