    Summary

    After turning thirty, Penelope decides she's done waiting for the perfect man and wants to be a mother. With the help of an esteemed fertility clinic, she selects a sperm donor and gets pregnant on her own. Scared to deal with the judgement of others, she lies and says that her ex boyfriend who moved away is the father.

    Though she and Colin have drifted in recent months, when he finds out her news, he vows to support her and show up for her and her baby. Her feelings for him muddy the waters, and she does her best to keep him at arms length during such an emotional time.

    --

    It all started with a brochure. 

    When Philippa struggled to get pregnant with her second, she and Albion looked into every option they could think of. At another painful Featherington family tea, Portia rattled off a list of old wives tales of sex positions they could try, earning groans and gags from all four of her daughters. Penelope glanced at the table, where the brochure lay forgotten, the words “Mayfair Fertility Clinic and Sperm Bank” sprawled in elegant typeface across the front, as though it were a fine dining menu and not an institution where men jerked off into cups.

    Summary

    She left in a hurry, but moments later, she came back. “Colin?”

     

    “Did you forget something, my love?”

     

    Penelope beamed at him. “I love you.”

     

    Colin was not sure he could grin more if he tried. “I love you too.”

     

    She rushed off again, and he could still feel the butterflies fluttering in his stomach. Truly, he would never tire of hearing Penelope say that she loved him. It was the greatest fact he had ever known.

     

    He noticed her journal remained open on her desk, and he went to pick it up, when a sentence caught his eye.

     

    ‘Colin thinks I have entrapped him, and I am not sure I have ever felt pain like this.’

     

    In which, Colin reads Penelope's journal, and learns what was going through her head during their fallout.

    Summary

    When forty year old Colin meets a vibrant twenty three year old Penelope at a restaurant bar, he tries to avoid her advances, before giving in entirely.

    --

    When she pulls back, he mourns the loss, but then she asks, “do you want to kiss me?”

    And in that moment, he remembers how young she is. He looks down into her eyes, and sees the uncertainty. The bravado, confidence, it teeters on a knife's edge, a balancing act of substantial proportions. She needs him to take over.

    The first brush of their lips together sends a shiver down his spine. It’s soft, sweet, tentative, and when she moans against his mouth, something inside of him snaps. He grabs her face between his hands, holding it steady while he devours her. Their tongues become embroiled with one another, and the sounds she’s making—god—he wants to eat her alive, all of a sudden. When he feels her body pressed into his, her soft breasts rubbing against his torso, his arousal spikes. But this isn’t his first rodeo. He’s not twenty three.
