Summary
It was one of those situations.
The kind where it was going to be a one time thing, and then every time after the first time was just one more time until they’d lost track of how many one times it had been.
They’d broken up for a good reason. They’d thought that then, and they still thought so now. At least most of the time. It only slipped out of her head when Penelope was two gin and tonics in and she was once again ready to convince herself that she could hook up with Colin and not be in love with him (she couldn’t, but, oh, how she tried).
Or, a second chance modern Polin romance

Summary
He cleared his throat, hoping to brush off the entire conversation. Unable to help himself, he looked back in the direction of Penelope and Debling, watching as they shared a drink without ever breaking eye contact.
It reminded him of their practice in Bridgerton House, and he wished he could take back any and all lessons he had impressed upon her with an intensity that surprised even him. The idea that she might one day find someone to marry filled him with dread and anxiety the likes of which he had never experienced. The idea that she might have already found that someone to marry made him want to empty the contents of his stomach in despair.
What if Colin had gotten the courage to ask then and there?
And actually asked.

Summary
Sometimes she wonders what people would say if they knew that Penelope Featherington was Colin Bridgerton's booty call. Felicity would probably spin it into some grand adventure, casting Penelope as the lonely figure stood on some moonlight shore as she waited for her lover to return. Eloise would undoubtedly be violently sick and then call her an idiot... and Penelope, well Penelope could hardly believe it herself.
It has to stop though.
It has to.

Summary
She made a little humming noise. “I am afraid, Sir Knight, that this is one danger you cannot wave your sword at. There is no escaping my marriage.”
“Oh. That. Marriage is no danger.”
She gave him a look of such sharpness that he felt himself wither. “You are a man. You do not have the first idea of the dangers marriage entails for women.” Her chin trembled though she held it aloft. “And you are a Knight Protector — you are not permitted to marry until after I am wed.”
He opened his mouth to retort — but closed it quickly. She was, he supposed, right. In fact he could not imagine someone less suited to offer counsel on the subject than himself.
“What is it that you fear?” he asked.
She took a deep breath. “Cruelty. Neglect. Loneliness. A life spent in solitude and uselessness, my mind slowly disintegrating through lack of exertion. There is so much world out here, Colin, and I shall only ever see one tiny patch of it. I fear dying after a life only half-lived. I have dreams and ambitions and they shall never, ever be realised. So while I am able, I mean to live.”
