Summary
And when you wrote about Miss Thompson?” His harsh voice and eyes darkened by fury made her flinch, taking a step back. Miss Thompson—Marina hadn't been Miss Thompson for a long time. She had been Lady Crane for two years now, but it seemed Colin still hadn't gotten used to it, or perhaps he refused to accept it. Penelope was on the verge of falling apart. So that’s what this was all about—about Marina and the chance she had stolen from him to marry her. Her heart pounded in her chest, and a sensation akin to nausea settled in her stomach. Her mouth grew dry, and her ears rang as she tried to find the right words to defend herself. But none came.
Colin and Penelope meet on the night before the wedding, on the dark little street in front of Madame Delacroix’s shop. Events unfold differently than in the show, and Colin doesn’t seem as forgiving. Penelope accepts his criticisms and unfounded accusations, and realizes one thing: he has never gotten over his former love, Marina Thompson, and she was directly responsible for the loss of his engagement. -

Summary
It had been a damned Saturday today, she thought, because she had made up a pathetic excuse to stay away the whole day, simply saying she had a manuscript to finish at the office. It was a lie, but Alfred believed it so she had spent the whole day staring at a blank laptop screen, trying to write a few words and that had been her entire day, staring into nothing at what was gone and would never come back again.

The seat was small and uncomfortable, but for the moment it served its purpose well enough.

Summary
“Come sit down!” he said with a mischievous smile. Penelope looked at the spot on the sofa occupied entirely by him, and her cheeks flushed.
“W-where?” she asked shyly, since the only spot left was his lap.
“Right here.” He motioned toward his arms.
“Colin, we can’t. We couldn’t even if the drapes were drawn, and certainly not in the drawing room.”
Colin smiled and made to stand up while his eyes were fixed on the window.
“No!” she cried out, heated by the warm air in the salon, or perhaps by his presence, she wasn’t sure. “Not when the maid must appear any moment with the tea!” she scolded him.
Colin returns home from his journey to the Crane estate in search of his younger sister, Eloise, feeling a profound and aching longing for his wife.
