    Colin to Pen
    9 Dec
    [07:03]

    Colin: I need a favour
    Colin: also hi
    Colin: good morning

    The phone vibrates against the bathroom counter, and Penelope hates the way her heart does this little flip in her chest at the sight of his name flickering at the top of her notifications. She stills, eyeliner poised in her hand, and contemplates answering. He never texts this early, so it is likely whatever he needs is important.

    But she is running late.

    And, more importantly, she is trying to be better about these sorts of things.

    Summary

    It was Penelope’s turn. Her spiral was tamed from the chains of reactions from the rest of the Bridgerton siblings and now her mind was excited. Colin had to have her for secret Santa, she saw him put her gift in there. She went to the last stocking on the fireplace.

    “That’s not yours, Pen” Marina’s voice cut through her excitement.

    Penelope looked at her and then back at the stocking she was holding. The letter “M” was stitched on the stocking.

    He put the present in her stocking.

    OR

    A Christmas tradition becomes a turning point for Penelope and Colin.

    Summary

    'Well, I can't just sit here and do nothing.' Violet said as she stood up from her chair, her arms tight at her sides. 'We have to do something.'

    'Do you think the MPS will actually find him? Find Debling?' Benedict asked and Eloise could feel the collective doubt fill the room. They all already knew the answer to that one.

    'There's no way. If he hasn't hopped on a boat already, he will have by the time they even get around to looking for him. It'll be another case thrown in a box and put on a shelf.' Eloise replied and the doubt in the room was quickly replaced by anger.

    'Well, I'm not fucking okay with that.' Hyacinth said.

    Penelope may not have been their actual sister but she had been in their family for 18 years. Blood meant nothing when it came to her.

    'Me either.' Benedict and Gregory chimed in.

    'No, that's not enough. We know people, right Anthony?' Violet asked and the entire room turned to look at him.

    'We know lots of people.' Anthony said with a small smile on his face, eyebrow raised. 'What kind of people are you thinking?

     
    OR....

    Debling beats the shit out of Penelope and the Bridgerton's take care of it.

    Summary

    "Colin, El! That reminds me!” Sophie calls out, "Why didn't you tell anyone that Penelope had a shoulder reconstruction? I ran into her as she was making her way home from the hospital with Gen!”

    “What?” Colin was on his feet instantly, holding his phone to his face to try and focus on Eloise. She’d gone red and was blinking at the camera in shock.

    “I had no idea,” she says quietly, “She didn't tell you, Col?”

    “I haven’t heard from her much this trip to be honest. I don’t understand, Eloise. How could you of all people not know?” Colin asks.

    “Uh, we kind of had a fight. I don’t think she's spoken to me in 3 months.”

    “Bloody hell! Colin?” Anthony bites out, “What’s your excuse?”
