    We pulled away for a moment to breathe, our breath making the slightest clouds from the chilly autumn weather. His eyes searched mine. “Are you certain you want to try this again?” He asked, making sure I had not changed my mind.

    I nodded, wrapping my arms around his neck. “I’m certain. I want to be close to you.”

    Summary

    Eyewitnesses say that HRH Princess Penelope and Colin Bridgerton, younger brother of the current Viscount Bridgerton, have been spotted repeatedly together across campus this term. Onlookers say there is definitely a royal romance brewing.

    Penelope scoffs as she texts back to her private secretary, Rae. Early on, she fought the need for a private secretary at all, and certainly doesn’t need one at Cambridge, but has found that it does actually make her life easier on the rare account she has to mingle with the rest of her family or partake in royal events. In this instance, Rae jumps in and assures Penelope that the Buckingham Palace press team is on it.

    Penelope: there’s no story here

    Penelope: old friend’s older brother. casual chat. studying across the table. ran into him in a coffee shop and didn’t even speak. he was on a date with someone else.

    ---

    Princess Penelope suddenly becomes second in line to the throne and struggles with her place in the royal family, while attracting unexpected romantic attention from an old friend's brother while they both attend the University of Cambridge.
