He ignored that. “It’ll be fun! Just you and me? On the road? Seeing some of America’s greatest sights?”

Summary
“I don’t want your family thinking there’s something going on between us,” she spits out, the words sharper than she intends, the irritation evident in her tone.
“Oh, and whyever would they think that?” Colin replies with mock incredulity, a roll of his eyes that only serves to sharpen her frustration.
The words rush out of her before she can stop them, too fast, too angry. “Because of how you’re acting!”
At this, Colin seems to straighten, his interest piqued, as if her acknowledgment of his behavior is some strange victory for him. “How am I acting?” he asks, a playful edge creeping into his voice.
“Like some lunatic who can’t take his eyes off me!” The words spill out faster now, a tide she can’t hold back. “Don’t think I haven’t noticed the looks you’ve been throwing at me. Teasing me, like it’s some game—like sitting across from you at dinner wasn’t torture enough!”
OR
One night changes everything between Penelope and Colin. Now, Penelope is left questioning how their friendship can ever go back to what it was—while Colin is determined to show her that friendship is the last thing he wants.

Summary
“Well, I heard in town that you were looking for some help digging a well. And I thought I might provide my services.”
Penelope stared at him. “Now why on God’s green earth would you want to do that?” she asked, more bluntly than was perhaps proper for a young lady. “We can’t pay you.” Their father had left them with almost nothing, save this land and the house they were standing on. It was a pretty nice house - better than some of the others in the area - but life was hard.
He shook his head and turned his hat over in his hands. “No, I didn’t expect you could. I hoped you might instead pay me in kind.”
Penelope’s cheeks flushed red and she looked down, her hands smoothing the faded yellow cotton of her day dress. She didn’t suppose he meant what it sounded like he meant, being a gentleman and all, but the idea of Colin Bridgerton taking that sort of payment from her made her cheeks hot.
