   Summary

   It's a slightly different story, an experiment I've had in mind for a while. Each chapter is set in a different year, tracing the history of Colin and Penelope, from friends to lovers. In every chapter, Colin will have a moment of confrontation with a different member of his family (friends included), slowly coming to terms with his true feelings for Pen and seeing them for what they are.

   Of course, Penelope is also in every chapter, and they will continually interact, with their relationship evolving until their love becomes undeniable.
