Summary
Some love stories begin with an unexpected meeting.
Colin and Penelope’s began with a promise.
They were only fifteen when they fell in love, convinced that what they had was simple, eternal, unbreakable. For years, it was.
But time has a way of pulling people apart. Colin became consumed by work, travel, and responsibilities. Penelope stayed behind, filling the spaces he left empty, until she began to disappear from his sight altogether.
What was once effortless love became silence. What was once certainty became doubt.
After eighteen years together and fourteen years of marriage, one devastating argument changes everything. A slammed door. A business trip. A goodbye that never came.
Penelope refuses to let their story end without a fight. Determined to save the marriage she still believes in, she follows Colin before the distance between them becomes impossible to cross.
But some journeys change everything.
And some doors should never be opened unless you’re ready for what’s waiting on the other side.
Penelope wasn’t.
Because when she finally finds Colin, he isn’t alone.

Summary
“What’s wrong?”
“Erm… well… fuck. Ok. Colin.” She clears her throat. “I’m so sorry, but this is a call of shame.”
“A what?”
“A call of shame. I might… I might have chlamydia.”
“Oh.” MY FUCKING GOD. He doesn’t say that part out loud but he thinks it very loudly. “Ok.” She’s going to be freaking out.
“No. No, not ok. Not ok at all. We fucked!”
“I remember.” It is absolutely top of the wank bank.
“And not like sensible adults.”
“I remember that too.” If felt fucking incredible.
“So you might have chlamydia.”
“I understand how STIs work, Pen.”

Summary
Colin's brothers, helpful sorts that they are, decide there's only one cure for his lingering virginity: a trip to a brothel.
The plan goes about as well as expected.
Convinced he's the only man in England incapable of wanting a stranger, Colin spends the next week wondering if something is terribly wrong with him.
Then Penelope Featherington makes one scandalously amusing joke, and Colin discovers that perhaps the problem was never a lack of desire.
Perhaps he's simply been in love with his best friend.

Summary
“Colin?” she called and he pulled himself out of his thoughts, thinking that he really missed the way she said his name.
“Perhaps we can change that,” he responded.
An adorable frown formed on her forehead, “Pardon?”
Colin didn't know where the conversation was heading but spoke anyway. “I could make some introductions. Pen, anyone would be lucky to court you.”
Penelope's frown deepened, “I- That's totally unnecessary, Colin.”
He was puzzled, didn't she want to marry? “Why not? You could meet someone and-”
“There's really no need to go to all this trouble,” she said with a tone of finality.
“But-”
“I have a lover, Colin!” she blurted.

Summary
Colin and Penelope had an unlikely friendship with a side of purely inquisitive, deeply scientific fascination. On Penelope's part anyway. It was just an infatuation. Because of course she hadn't fallen in love with him when she was eleven, or fifteen, or twenty-five.
That would be ridiculous.
They were just friends. That's how friends behave.
Right?
But what if the fabric of their being was tied to the other? And even after the first fracture they both held on? What if it all came down to timing?
OR:
Penelope thinks this is the closest she'll ever get to him.
Colin thinks this is the closest she'll ever let him get.
