Summary
Shaking off the daze, he becomes aware that Anthony is staring at him through the mirror pensively, eyes bobbing up and down from his chest to his eyes. “You should probably tell her you have feelings for her before you show her that.”
“Feelings?” Colin turns to look at his brother.
“You cannot be this dense, Colin,” Anthony says, expression deadpan.
“Dense about what?” Colin says exasperatedly. “It’s just a tattoo. I already have a bunch of them. Besides, I think she’ll find it funny.”
“You wanna tell a joke? Send her a meme. You don’t get a tattoo of her name.” Anthony rolls his eyes and shakes his head, which, to be fair, is what he does at most of the things Colin says anyway.
or; the one where colin get's pen's name tattooed and realizes he's in love with her.

Summary
"Will you two — can you behave tonight?" Eloise says, exasperation in her voice and her nose scrunched up.
Colin wears an innocent face. "I can't think what you mean. Penis and I always behave."
"I swear to God —" Penelope hisses, plonking the wine down hard on the counter. "You both have to stop with that —"
"I mean it!" Eloise exclaims as she goes over to the large bowl of salad on the side and begins to toss it aggressively. "None of your usual Pen-and-Colin shit, please. Edwina's bringing someone new, and I want him to think we're… normal." She sighs, shoulders sagging. "Normal-ish. Normal enough that he doesn't run screaming." Her eyes narrow. "And if I'm honest I'd rather avoid another evening of you two bitching at each other."
"We don't bitch," Colin insists, though they do, in fact, bitch. "Penelope is my dearest friend."
OR: Eloise throws a dinner party. Penelope and Colin cannot behave themselves

Summary
Penelope Featherington has been quietly in love with Colin Bridgerton for nine years. She's written it all down—every small moment, every unreturned feeling—in a document meant for her eyes only. Colin, meanwhile, has spent those same years being charming and oblivious.
Then Colin calls off his wedding and accidentally discovers what Penelope's been hiding. Suddenly, he can't stop thinking about the woman he never noticed. He wants to know her—really know her. And Penelope has no idea why he's finally paying attention.
As friendship turns into something more, Colin faces an impossible problem: he's falling for her, but she doesn't know how he learned to see her. The truth might destroy everything. But the lies might be worse.

Summary
When Eloise announces she wants to move again, it coincides with Colin's desire to purchase a London flat. It makes sense for them to move in with him financially, but Eloise takes some convincing and as Colin and Penelope work together to persuade her, they fall back into a closer friendship. Meanwhile, Penelope's casual work hook-up starts pushing for something more but her dormant teenage crush on Colin has come back in full force. Still, she has to be realistic, right?
But when Colin makes her an interesting offer, it has the potential to change everything. It also might burn everything down. She won't know until she tries.
