    Summary

    The room was dim, the windows shuttered tight against the outside world. A single desk lamp cast long shadows across the worn wooden table, where two cups of untouched tea had long since gone cold.

    “Do you understand the assignment?” came the voice across from him, low, clipped, and final.

    Colin didn’t blink. “Yes, sir.”

    The man nodded once. “Good. You leave in a week’s time.”

    ~~~

    During World War II, Colin Bridgerton is deployed as a British spy. While his family and Penelope Featherington are left in the dark, only Anthony knows the truth and receives Colin’s coded updates every month until one month, the dispatch never comes. No one knows what has happened, devastating his family and leaving Penelope heartbroken. Will Colin return home and if so will he be the same?

    °❆⋆.ೃ࿔*:・

    When Penelope Featherington arrives at Aubrey Hall for Christmastide, she expects warmth, laughter, and perhaps a few stolen glances from her dearest friend’s brother.

    What she does not expect is to be informed that an older version of herself, visibly pregnant and accompanied by a copper-haired child, has already visited.

    Colin Bridgerton, for his part, is behaving… oddly.

    Time, it seems, has a sense of humor.

    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
