    Summary

    Photographer Colin is delighted when he bumps into Penelope in Reykjavik - the first time he's seen her in ten years. And when she accepts his offer of a lift across Iceland, he's excited to rekindle their friendship along the scenic road.

    He feels a connection to her and starts to yearn for more than friendship. But she’s like a yoyo: allowing herself to get close to him then reeling herself back in.

    Will she ever fully warm up to him? And will she tell him the real reason she ghosted him years ago?

    Summary

    Colin lives in Paris. And when Penelope comes to his city on her book tour, it's the first time they've seen each other in two years.

    Penelope only has an hour or so before she has to take a train home, so they make the most of the time they have, wandering the city, catching up.

    But what starts as two friends reconnecting quickly feels like something more. Something familiar. Something irresistible.

    OR: a story of Polin in Paris, inspired by the Before Sunset movie.

    Summary

    “So…. I heard from a little bird that you visited a farm!” He whispered.

    “Yes, well… I suppose so” Eloise answered somewhat embarrassingly, remembering her conversation with her brothers a few years back.

    “Did it… scandalise you?” Asked Benedict and it was Colin who answered as he sauntered up to them and deposited him on the settee across them. “Well, it surely scandalised me!”

     

    This is how S4 should start for Polin because why not:

    Eloise is back from Scotland and eager to meet Her bestie. But things start on a very wrong note because who the hell does THAT to their wife??!!! Right??

     

    Or not!

     

    Or maybe Eloise Bridgerton is surrounded by farm animals.
