    Summary

    Penelope had been certain — certain! — that Colin would one day return her affections.

    When his head is turned instead by her cousin Marina, Penelope must admit she was wrong.

    After no small amount of crying, Penelope decides she will move on. That she will find a husband. That she will be kissed.

    One question lingers in the back of her mind — why on earth does Colin look so stricken to find her doing just that?

    Summary

    Excerpt from Eloise's letter to Colin

    .....Yes, you read that correctly. Our Penelope. She has apparently decided that the Season to come will not be wasted in corners. She actually wears gowns that suit her now.... Marriage, Colin. She is contemplating marriage
    I cannot forgive it. We had an agreement, she and I — that we should stand together against such nonsense.

     

    Excerpt from Colin's unsent Letter to Penelope:

     

    Pen,
    What on earth are you doing? Eloise claims you’re parading about as if the marriage mart were a stage. Have you taken leave of your senses? Or is there truly some man who thinks himself worthy of you? Tell me Eloise has exaggerated as she always does. Because the thought of you—

     
    -----
    Or:

    While Colin is away in Europe, Eloise writes him with her usual flair for exaggeration: Penelope danced four times in one night. With actual suitors. Colin’s response? To rearrange his entire travel itinerary, spiral about moustaches, and declare war on waltzes lowered necklines. Through misunderstandings Colin’s chaotic and often hilarious journey to realizing his feelings for Penelope takes a few unexpected turns.

    Following the death of the Lord Archibald Featherington, his cousin, an old, ugly, grouchy man who had no qualms sending his insolent son off to the Americas becomes the new Baron. Eager to free himself of the burden of his cousin’s wife and daughters he sets about arranging a marriage for the eldest daughter with an old friend, paying the dowry for the second-born daughter and declaring their mother their burden as he saw them wed. The youngest daughter was trickier, he had no more friends in want of a wife and the chit was dowdy and a little young to be sure. When he hears his former neighbour is looking for a governess for their only daughter, he writes his young and intelligent cousin references and sends her off to start a new life. When the 1814 social season begins, and one Eloise Bridgerton tries to call on her friend she is informed that Miss Penelope has moved on and the Bridgerton family have never seen nor heard from their friend since. That is, until 8 years have passed, and the Lady Kathani Bridgerton is in search of a governess for her young daughter.
