    Summary

    Colin lifts his hand with the cigarette to his lips at the same that his eyes open, his head turns, and he first notices Penelope standing there watching him.

    "Fuck," he mutters before looking away from her and to the window. "I'm sorry."

    She isn't sure what he's apologizing for really—for smoking or fighting with Marina or maybe both. Regardless, it breaks a little part of her to see him looking so dejected and sad. There's a light missing from him, a weight pulling him down and making him seem smaller. It's not fair, though. He's so inherently good. He doesn't deserve to feel like this. He doesn't deserve to be treated like this. He deserves—

    Penelope can't help but blink in surprise even at just the meandering path of her own thoughts, at the idea that just popped into her head about what exactly she thinks Colin Bridgerton deserves at this moment and what exactly she'd like to do to make him feel better. It's ridiculous, right? She shouldn't… She couldn't… But what if she did?

    --

    Flatmates Penelope and Colin take a winding, complicated, messy path on their friends to lovers journey.

    Summary

    It was 1991 when Penelope, struggling to get pregnant in her marriage to Alfred Debling, made a bold and socially frowned-upon decision for the time: artificial insemination with the help of an anonymous donor.

    Four years later, after a difficult divorce from an abusive husband and raising a son who still carries the emotional scars of that past, Penelope is doing her best to rebuild her life. Until a data breach at the fertility clinic exposes identities once promised lifelong confidentiality – and a stranger, with the same eyes as her son, appears at her doorstep.

    —•—

    “Is there something I can help you with?”

    Penelope touched her son’s head with one hand and gripped the doorknob with the other, confusion and unease tightening in her chest as she watched the man before her regard her child with quiet curiosity.

    “I… I have reason to believe I’m the biological father of your son.”
