    Summary

    "Now," the boy (Colin, Colin, Colin) says, as he eases himself to his feet languorously, so he looms and teeters upon the wall. Penelope's breath catches in her throat — she stares up at him in frozen terror as he reaches a long arm out to snatch the top of the cherry tree, his body bowing elegantly into the nothingness of open air. One wrong move and he will tumble, she is sure of it. "Penelope with the Greek name and lovely face and hair like fire," (Penelope wonders if she might die from blushing), "if I throw you down some of the sweetest cherries from the top of the tree," (he begins to pluck and twist the green stems, the branches shaking precariously), "the ones the sun has kissed to perfect ripeness, the kind of cherries you have never tasted before in your life," (he pops one in his mouth and gives the rest of his speech pouted around it), "even as the daughter of a duke who always tastes the very best of everything — well, do you think you might favour me with a smile?"

    Oh, she thinks (for even at fourteen she is decisive; knows her mind well). I am in love.

     

    On the day she finds out she is to be married, Penelope falls in love

    'I could coach you.'

     

    'What?' her head snapped up to his, her eyes wide with surprise.

     

    'I could… I mean, I could show you a few different ways so that you don't feel so out of your depth,'

     

    'You want to show me different sex positions?' her voice was disbelieving.

     

    'Yes,'

    Summary

    Penelope is celebrating the festive season at Aubrey Hall with her favorite family, but all she really wants for Christmas is to spend it with Colin, who is not meant to return from his tour until the start of the social season—or so she thinks.

    After his unexpected arrival home, the two share a moment in front of his family and his meddlesome siblings take it upon themselves to convince their brother to make her a Bridgerton, once and for all.

    Summary

    I couldn't utter my love when it counted
    Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
    I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
    Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now

    Colin failed to act when it counted most and now, it's too late. At least for this life. It's Christmas Eve, and Colin prepares to spend another night worshipping his love, even though she is not there to receive it. The shrike comes and cries, and asks him, do we really only ever get one chance at life? At the things that matter?

    Colin is about to find out.
