    Summary

    Benedict is feeling lost and lonely. Anthony is caught up in a love affair with his wife and the rest of his siblings are all caught up in their own lives. Benedict has barely been able to pick up a paintbrush in months - he’s dropped out of the Academy to paint his own way, but the images refuse to come. When Eloise suggests he needs a change of perspective, he realises he has always overlooked Penelope and assumed she was Colin’s. If Colin isn’t interested in her, Benedict just might be. Can Benedict convince Penelope he is a serious prospect for her?

    Penelope is used to being burned by the ton, but she’s not used to having the flames come from Bridgerton House. She had decided she wanted nothing more to do with them, but when Colin apologises, and Eloise wants to make amends, Penelope thinks she can move past the pain without losing her heart to them again. But then Benedict is there and he’s sweet and kind and charming and Penelope cannot do this to herself again, can she?

    Summary

    Actually, Mel's excited about a lot of things going into the new school year. She’s excited to co-teach with Dr. Mohan and Mr. Langdon. She’s excited to continue supporting the kids on her caseload from the previous year, and she knows writing their IEPs will go so much better now that she knows them and their families a little. She’s excited that her Physics class will be entirely made up of students she taught in Chemistry the previous year; they were a great group.

    There are things to worry about, too. Co-teaching with two new people again. The daily possibility that she’s going to do something overwhelmingly embarrassing in front of Langdon. Still not knowing where she should go during her prep periods. That she’s going to be just as alone as she’s always been at work, but with some added disappointment because she’s let her hopes get up, just a little.

    There’s no way that she and Langdon can co-teach as well as she hopes. She’s sure her bubble will burst soon enough, that her crush will fade, and everything will settle back to baseline.

    (It doesn't.)

    Summary

    “Sorry, I– I wanted to return it but I kept getting pulled into different cases and I couldn’t find you and when I did you weren’t alone and I thought it would be awkward for you if I returned it front of someone else so I’ve been holding on to it and I’m really sorry it took me all day, I swear I didn’t–”

    “Breathe,” he reminds her, cutting her off with a calm voice and gentle smile in the face her distress. “It’s okay, don’t worry about it.” Poor thing, he thought, she really thought I’d be mad at her over a silly little ring?

    Or

    On a scale of 1 to 10, how illegal is it to let a woman you are not married to touch your wedding ring?
