Summary
A certain author is turning 50 this month, so here I'm exploring an older Penelope with a younger Colin - a 15 year age gap. He's 21 when they meet and it's a slow burn, he falls first and she pushes him away, but if that premise gives you the ick, back out now please!
Writing this for Penelope's birthday in Polin week and for my birthday soon! Still a work in progress but hoping to get it finished pretty soon (famous last words)

Summary
Once Eloise leaves Colin's room, Penelope and Colin's proximity changes its tone; maybe it’s all in Penelope’s head, but there’s an intimacy here as she burrows into Colin’s naked chest, like it’s where she belongs. It feels like she does. It feels like he’s supposed to hold her like this, captivate her with the heat of his flesh, the depths of his breaths, and the strength of his hold. It feels a little like home, and it devastates her to think like that.
But this is what she’s missed the most. These unparalleled moments where there are no guards or boundaries or weirdness. The parts of him that make her feel the softest, when he’s affectionate with her through touch, like yes, he missed her as in her personality, but also her as in the feeling of her skin and the softness of her hair, because she’s missed those things from him, too. The quiet of his voice as he speaks only to her, the caress of his fingers when he tries to get her attention, the warmth of him when he invites her into his bed so he can hold her like this.
or; Penelope and Colin are forced to be touching at all times.

Summary
When he finally spoke his voice was a low rumble. She could practically feel it vibrating through her whole body.
“You’re such a good girl, Pen.”
And fuck, she knew in that second she was done for. There was no returning to normal after this.
