Summary
Had Penelope been delayed, merely by five or ten minutes, she would have missed the scuffle. She would have returned home unimpeded after delivering her column. But that was not to be.
Where was Colin truly coming from in his conversation with Fife? And what if he found out the very next day that Penelope heard him, and promptly went to apologize, only to find that she was much more fragile and precious to him than he realized?

Summary
Something had altered between them. There was this rupture in their friendship that she resisted his attempts to mend, interpreting his most innocuous actions with mistrust and suspicion.
He remembered the turn of her countenance when he confessed how beautiful he found her. Why did she act like it was so inappropriate, downright untoward, for them to speak openly, as they always had? As though all the soft smiles and sharp barbs she'd always bestowed upon him were no longer his to seek out.
How could she think he pitied her, when nothing be further from the truth?

Summary
“All is well now.” She could not help but assure him.
“It is not,” he objected. “All is not well between us at all. I can feel it.”
She could formulate no rebuttal. He was right and it would be dishonest to deny it. She watched him grow more aggravated from her silence.
“You are not at ease with me anymore,” he continued. “Openness once marked our relationship, allowing it to take shape so naturally over the years, but now you rebuke me at the slightest expression of it.”
He was speaking circles around her, failing to make sense. She could not deny things had changed, but his logic dizzied her. Or perhaps that was the warmth of his palm that had shifted down, cupping her neck, as his fingers wove softly into her hair.
Or, they finally confront each other.
