    Summary

    "Oh!" she gasped.

    Colin turned back around, eyebrows furrowed. "What? Shall I stay?"

    "Turn around!" Penelope laughed, standing. She approached him, and Colin frowned, turning around. There, written in her handwriting upon his right buttcheek: yours, Penelope Bridgerton.

    Summary

    The night Penelope is asked the most important question of her life, she is wearing a hot pink feather boa. With sparkles, and a sparkly pink penis tiara to match. Naturally. 

    The question is not will you marry me, which should have been the most important question of her life (a fact of which she is perfectly aware, thank you very much). It is not do you, Penelope Featherington, take Alfred Debling to be your lawfully wedded husband, because she has a few days left before their officiant asks her that particular question.

    “I’m sorry,” Penelope says. “What did you say?” 

    She’d heard him, but she’s drunk in a hot pink feather boa and a penis crown and surely Colin Bridgerton cannot be asking her about regrets.
