   Summary

   ㅤ🎶 And then I go and spoil it all

   by saying somethin’ stupid like I love you 🎶

   It all started when Penelope openly lost her marbles during the staff meeting, a week after their trip to Aubrey Hall.

   A single long weekend–meant for sweet marshmallow-roasting–had turned their bond of nearly two decades into a wreckage of silent suffering, stretching her resolve so thin she snapped. She wanted to claw her way out of her Colin-shaped bubble wrap because she couldn’t breathe anymore.

   So, why not pour gasoline on the fire in front of the whole office?

   All she wanted was to avoid him. All he wanted was for her to talk to him and tell him what broke her. The only communication–forced and charged with tension–begs the question: could the remains of their friendship vanishing before their eyes force them to see what they've both been too blind to admit, or will they insist on saying something stupid that isn't ”I love you”?
