    Summary

    During Kate and Anthony's wedding festivities, Penelope is roped into a tradition where women have the name of the person they love inscribed into their henna.

    The letter C finds it's way onto her palm. And attracts the notice of the one person she wants to hide it from.

    For the "Polin Cultures" 2026 event. Prompt: cultural fashion and attire.

    Summary

    “But when am I getting married? And who am I getting married to?” 

     

    “More like who would want to marry you?” Prudence mumbles as Philippa snickers along unkindly. 

     

    Penelope frowns, for a moment she wonders if her mum will tell Prudence to stop, that being mean also isn’t ladylike, but she doesn’t do that, she just ignores it. “Well, you’re a little too young to be getting married right now, that will have to wait until you’re a bit older, but as for who you’re going to marry… I suppose we’ll have to wait and see.”

     

    Two days after the wedding, Penelope knocks a boy off his bike by accident with her yellow hat. He laughs with her about it instead of yelling at like she’d assumed he would, and the moment she hears his laugh she knows that she’s met the love of her life, and the minute she opens the door she tells her mum that she knows exactly who she’s going to marry one day.

     

    She’s going to marry Colin Bridgerton, the flowers said so.

    OR

    At nearly every single wedding she goes to, Penelope catches the bouquet. These are the various times it happens, and a couple of times when it doesn't.

    Summary

    Penelope is convinced to attend the university’s annual winter carnival under the promise she’ll see the rarely-in-London-anymore Colin Bridgerton. When she does spot him, however, he’s running the football team’s kissing booth.

    Which makes her want to throw up, quite frankly.

    Perplexingly, it also puts certain things in motion Colin discovers he is not prepared for.

    Summary

    During a perfectly normal study session, Colin asks what he swears is an innocent question.

    Because it seems like having built-in pillows on one’s chest would make laying on one’s stomach and studying for an upcoming English exam almost comfortable.

    Then Penelope invites him to see for himself exactly how comfortable it is, and Colin’s afternoon takes a decidedly unexpected turn.
