Summary
People weren’t always patient; it’s just a matter of fact she’s come to accept, as easily as the sky is blue. People weren’t always generous — with their time, much less with their attention — and Mel’s grown accustomed to the exasperated raise of eyebrows whenever her rambles cross the Too Much line.
She’s used to it.
Frank, though—
She hadn’t accounted for Frank.
Or, Mel’s an unstoppable force trying to get over her feelings, and Frank’s an immovable object who won’t let her.

Summary
She stands before him, a delicate goddess with her cheeks tinted pink and cherry lips parted. Her eyes – those beautiful, arresting eyes of hers – never once leave his, as though she searches for a reassurance that he cannot give to her.
Archibald Featherington gives her hand to him, and the Featheringtons' reckoning is now inevitable. Colin will not yield until he delivers Archibald's punishment to his waiting family who have been starved of the justice they rightly owed.
But resting against his palm, Penelope's hand trembles, severing any and all thought of revenge.
You did that, he thinks.
Unwittingly, his fingers clasp over hers. She stares at him, incredulity pushing her brows together; he cannot fathom how much of the girl he remembers still lives on in the cherubic set to her features.
She is, to him, a mirage of the boy who had his head lost in the clouds.
"You will not change, Colin. You have always been you. As long as you know who you are, you know who you will be."
"Shall we begin?" The pastor interrupts.

Summary
“It was me, not Penelope, who–” Eloise chokes through her cries, a haunting replica of a wounded soldier. “She was the only one who knew I visited the rookeries and attended those events Whistledown speaks of. She’s p-protecting me, protecting us. She’s taken–”
His sister’s next words will forevermore torment Colin. “She’s taken the fall for us.”
The world beneath him crumbles, leaving him to free fall into an abyss.
For God’s sake, Pen, what’ve you done?
Or, in the aftermath of the Queen's threat, Penelope makes a sacrifice.

Summary
Katy still keeps the nightlight Waigong made for her, he realizes.
Maybe, in the morning when he pretends he’s on the way back from a run and drops by the Chens, he’ll tease her about it.

Or, Shangqi struggles in the aftermath of Ta Lo.
