Summary
“Well, I heard in town that you were looking for some help digging a well. And I thought I might provide my services.”
Penelope stared at him. “Now why on God’s green earth would you want to do that?” she asked, more bluntly than was perhaps proper for a young lady. “We can’t pay you.” Their father had left them with almost nothing, save this land and the house they were standing on. It was a pretty nice house - better than some of the others in the area - but life was hard.
He shook his head and turned his hat over in his hands. “No, I didn’t expect you could. I hoped you might instead pay me in kind.”
Penelope’s cheeks flushed red and she looked down, her hands smoothing the faded yellow cotton of her day dress. She didn’t suppose he meant what it sounded like he meant, being a gentleman and all, but the idea of Colin Bridgerton taking that sort of payment from her made her cheeks hot.

Summary
“Why are you doing this?” Penelope asked in a small voice, her words muttered into his skin. “Do you think I’m such a pathetic case that I can’t make any friends by myself? You know, I like being alone, Colin.”
Colin chuckled and pulled her tighter against him, burying his lips into her hair. “No, darlin’, that ain’t it. It’s my family. I just want you to feel their love as I do.” His fingers traced careful circles over her bare shoulder. “And I want us to live, Penelope. Not just… survive. Part of that means doing things that ain’t practical or useful. Like having friends.”
It wasn’t just that, though. Colin had this feeling like maybe all of this was something he had dreamed - that perhaps he had fallen asleep under his tree in the summer heat, and one day soon he would awaken and find Penelope was not his.
