Summary: “Pen?” He peeked around the statue, a concerned look on his face. “Are you quite well?”
She let out a mirthless laugh. “I can assuredly say I have had better evenings, Mr. Bridgerton, no thanks to you.”
Colin reeled back slightly, her tone and use of such formality feeling like a slap to the face. “What can you mean? Has something happened?”
Penelope looked up at him, meeting his kind gaze with a withering stare. “I never asked you to court me, you know. Despite having had numerous opportunities to insist upon it, given your penchant for impropriety when it comes to our ‘friendship.’” She spat out the last word like it was poison upon her tongue. “That was my mistake, I suppose—assuming you had the best of intentions. Though perhaps that’s not quite true. How could you have anything but the best, most pure of intentions when it comes to poor, little Penelope Featherington? Who you could not even dream of courting in your wildest fantasies? No, the wildest fantasies of that vile rake, Mr. Fife, whose fantasies are likely so untenable they would make even the viscount blush.”

Summary: "It’s like… long distance sex.”
That gave her pause. She looked up at the number. “What?”
“It’s like… 69,” he said, pointing at the numbers. “But there’s something in between them. Distance. Or! Or maybe that's the phone,” he said, pointing at the 0.
Penelope blinked up at the numbers. “God, you’re such a dork,” she breathed, turning around and tugging him into a bruising kiss. “It’s so fucking hot.”

Summary: He's been gone too long.
It always hits him like this, it always seems to fall over him all at once. When intricate buildings and foreign cuisine and strangers’ faces are no longer endless and exciting new beauty but instead reminders of home.
The walls here remind him of the hall where the debutants make their attempted marks. The stairs up to the gallery are carpeted, and as the soles of his boots lay upon each one, the give sends him right back to the steps at Bridgerton House. The light is even shining similarly to how it does back in England, and perhaps the sun is the same everywhere but he never seems to notice that until the pain of distance becomes ineludible.
Yes, he feels it right behind his heart, in the way he swallows more thickly as he wakes now. It’s in each breath, as if the air here just isn't quite right…
That woman’s hair is so much like…
Christ.
It is endless.
It is time to go home.
He won't, though. Not for a while. Never does.

For Penelope...maybe Colin could have asked her if she hadn't immediately thanked him and run away (but that's its own answer, isn't it).
Three years later, Colin is still trying (unsuccessfully) to escape the kiss, and to push down his feelings for his best friend who clearly does not love him in return.
During a week in Rome, Colin's dreams about Penelope are getting more vivid. And then there's this statue that looks just like her...

"It’s a type of duck. And you could find it frozen, maybe, but honestly," Anthony glanced over at Eloise before turning back to Pen, "Grandmother always used fresh scoter. I think it’s a difference-maker, to tell you the truth."

“Fuck,” he mutters. “Can you check your cell?”
Penelope does, but there’s not even a hint of a bar. For good measure, she checks his, but it’s just as signal-less.
“I can’t believe we’re lost,” she says with a giggle. “You’re gonna be hungry soon.”
“You afraid you’re gonna get eaten first?” he asks with a stupidly charming grin. Penelope nudges him with her elbow.
“If we turn back now, we’re going to end up doing this for another five hours,” Colin whines. “And I’m worried I’ll probably get us more lost with how all the detours ended up.”
“There was a sign for an inn not that far back. Do you want to try our luck?” she asks him. He purses his lips.
“Probably a better idea, and at least we can be warm inside. I’m dying to be vertical again,” he agrees.

Summary: Everywhere was Colin. The minty scent of his shampoo, the musk of his cologne, lingering sweat. Pictures on his desk, some of them featuring Penelope, maps and some of his photography on the walls, his lava lamp that he’d had since he was fifteen that somehow still worked. There was even a laundry basket full of dirty clothes he hadn’t had a chance to get to before he was off on his work trip.
It was all rather intoxicating, feeling surrounded by him even though he wasn’t even in the same country, and the more she rolled around in it, the more that tugging sensation from her belly to between her legs made itself known.

Summary: “Woah there,” he says softly, one hand darting out to cup the bottom of her glass, the other softly encircling her wrist. “Careful, Penelope.”
He says her name with a British accent but there is something American in the intonation, the way he goes up at the end. It is something Penelope has found herself doing from time to time here, her voice automatically mimicking those around her; she thought it signaled a certain weakness of character, as though she knows herself so little that even her voice cannot hold onto itself.
But from him it just sounds… right.
She likes how he says her name with such familiarity, even though they haven’t been introduced yet. He says it as if they’ve known each other for years.
“This is Colin, obviously,” Eloise says and Penelope nods, unable to speak. He is tall and lithe and his hair falls in dark waves the same colour as Eloise’s. He’s wearing a white T-shirt tucked into high-waisted blue jeans, tan leather cowboy boots and there is a white Stetson perched atop his curls.

Summary: “Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.
“Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.
“Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.
It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.
With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn't understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.

She had on her bright yellow, poofy bridesmaid dress and he was certain she hated it. She kept trying to pull down the taffeta fabric when it would ride up her belly, as well as awkwardly adjust the fabric around her breasts, a motion that made Colin’s mouth go dry immediately.
Colin hadn’t seen or spoken to her in months and he suspected it was because she had been avoiding him. Things had seemed mostly normal between them after Anthony’s wedding. They did all the same things, hung out as regularly as his travel schedule would allow and just seemed normal. It seemed like they were following the same strategy they had after Daphne’s wedding.

Summary: “Ah, the gentleman is of discerning taste, I see. She is a rare jewel indeed.” Madame Delacroix’s voice is a seductive purr in Colin’s ear.
“Why does she cover her face?”
“She is a lady of the Ton, in the possession of a most particular talent indeed. If her identity were to be discovered, she would be ruined.”
“And what is this particular gift of hers?”
