Summary
The course of a life can change in mere moments, as more than a few mismatched couples can attest...
- Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers
Penelope intervenes when a scheming young miss would have trapped Colin into marriage—by taking her place. The best that she can hope for is a marriage of avoidance, rather than outright resentment.
Colin is rescued from entrapment and considers himself the most fortunate of men. If only he could stop malicious gossipmongers such as Lady Whistledown from speaking so unkindly about his future wife.

Summary
Being the key to saving humanity is much less glamorous than someone might expect. There’s a lot more bleeding and puking and sweating than she thinks is fair, strictly speaking, and she makes the fun discovery that she loses her shit in an MRI machine when it reminds her of being trapped in a cage, and she has a panic attack so bad Joel almost breaks the machine getting her out.
(She gets sedated before MRIs after that, so she wakes up nauseous and grumpy, but beggars can’t be choosers, and MRI flight risks can’t be vocal about their side effects.)
“Say the word,” Joel always says, when he’s rubbing her back or holding her hair out of the way or letting her clutch his hand while they do a spinal tap, “and we’re out of here.”
“We’re so close,” she always tells him. “They’ll figure it out soon.”
And she believes it, mostly.
Primarily because she has to, if she’s going to keep going.
(the fireflies don't try to kill her, but ellie still has a Very Bad Time in the hospital)
