    Summary

    Shaking off the daze, he becomes aware that Anthony is staring at him through the mirror pensively, eyes bobbing up and down from his chest to his eyes. “You should probably tell her you have feelings for her before you show her that.”

    “Feelings?” Colin turns to look at his brother.

    “You cannot be this dense, Colin,” Anthony says, expression deadpan.

    “Dense about what?” Colin says exasperatedly. “It’s just a tattoo. I already have a bunch of them. Besides, I think she’ll find it funny.”

    “You wanna tell a joke? Send her a meme. You don’t get a tattoo of her name.” Anthony rolls his eyes and shakes his head, which, to be fair, is what he does at most of the things Colin says anyway.

    or; the one where colin get's pen's name tattooed and realizes he's in love with her.

    Summary

    October 1993. Precocious 12-year-old Penelope Featherington, living with her family in Paris, is paired with 15-year-old Colin Bridgerton in a French/English chat exchange. Despite their differences in age and temperament, they form an instant connection which, over the course of the next twelve years, becomes an unbreakable bond.

    April 2006. Penelope at last agrees to meet in person, confident now that her childish infatuation with her pen pal is under control and that she won’t be entirely wrecked and devastated by his reaction when he sees her. Meanwhile, Colin is struggling to reconcile his feelings for Penelope with the tug of fascination and intrigue he feels for a mysterious woman recently resurfaced from his past. Will he choose the one who got away or the one who’s always been there?

    (Will there even be a choice?)

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is sick as a dog and trying to power through and be miserable on her own. Colin shows up unexpectedly, insisting on taking care of her, with just one small problem. They just had a horrible fight and aren't speaking.

    --

    “You shouldn’t be here,” she mumbles, suddenly feeling more moody and irritated by his presence. “You’ll get sick too.”

    He ignores her and a moment later, she hears the sound of running water from a different part of her flat. She’s still confused.

    When he returns, she stands up and crosses her arms, trying to seem steadier. She’s not.

    “What are you doing here?”

    “You’re sick, Pen. I came to take care of you.”

    “I don’t need you to—”

    “Please,” he begs, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Please just… I started the shower for you. Let me finish up in here.”
