Summary
He misses them all so much.
The children's laughter, Penelope's smile.
The simple warmth brought about from basking in their love every single morning.
But Colin knows they're in a better place now.
It's all for the best, he tells himself for the hundredth time, wiping his face once more. He restarts his work and tries to focus, tries not to get distracted, but he knows even if he manages to do so now, when he lays down this evening, his mind will be swirling with thoughts of them before he slips off into dreamland.
All he can do is hope he can find the strength to get up tomorrow.
The sequel to penelope, plain and small.

Summary
Colin looked between the twins, hoping his expression conveyed contentment. "I've placed an advertisement in the newspapers. For help."
Amanda eyed him skeptically. "Like a housekeeper?"
Colin steeled himself for the reactions his next words might provoke. "No, not like a housekeeper. More like…a wife."
The only sound for the few seconds that followed was the rustling of the leaves in the breeze outside.
"You mean a mother?" Oliver asked quietly, his eager voice barely above a whisper.
"Yes, she would be your mother." He glanced over at Amanda who still had not spoken. "Of course, she would never replace your mother. But she would be like a mother to you. Helping you like a mother would and doing things around the house like a mother would, too."
The children said nothing. Oliver regarded him curiously while Amanda stared at her bowl of stew. Colin cleared his throat and pulled a slip of paper from his pants pocket. "Anyhow, I have received an answer."

Summary
“D’ye believe in the supernatural, Penelope?”
Penelope could not help the giggle that escaped her. “Oh, Mrs. Wilson. The supernatural? Do you mean magic?”
“Aye, lass. Magic. It's everywhere, ye ken? Lingers between the here and there, just out of sight. But there are some places it gathers in hordes, where its power cannae be denied. It buzzes, the wind picks up, and it takes you.”
Penelope felt her breath catch. “It takes you?”
Mrs. Wilson nodded. “Aye. It is said at the Kilmartin Glen, and other places alike, the stones will sweep you to another world.”

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

Summary
A warmth spread through her, consuming her, until even the air seemed too thick to draw into her lungs. She pressed her palms against her knees, as though to steady herself, yet her mind would not be stilled. She saw again that brief flash of his smile, the one that had undone her entirely, and her breath trembled.
What foolishness this was. What wicked foolishness. And yet… she could not summon the shame she knew she ought to feel. Her sisters often spoke of temptation as something that hunted the innocent, but Penelope could not help but feel, in that moment, that it was she who hunted it.
OR
Deemed hopeless on the marriage market and quietly sent away to a convent, Penelope spends five quiet years trying to tame her heart before taking her vows. But when a young farmer begins assisting Sister Agatha, his gentle presence awakens feelings she ought never to harbour. Try as she might, Penelope cannot banish these wicked longings, nor the dangerous hope that her life beyond the convent walls might yet be her own.

Summary
When the Bridgertons move from London to Aubrey Hall, 17 year old Colin begins an e-mail letter correspondence with his friend and crush, Marina Thompson. Or so he believes. Because Marina isn't much for letters or writing, she asks her cousin and Colin's childhood friend, Penelope Featherington, to just pretend to be her. Penelope doesn't feel gorgeous, funny and popular Colin will ever return her feelings when beautiful Marina is right there, so she agrees. It's not like two people can fall in love over e-mail, right?
