    Excerpt from Eloise's letter to Colin

    .....Yes, you read that correctly. Our Penelope. She has apparently decided that the Season to come will not be wasted in corners. She actually wears gowns that suit her now.... Marriage, Colin. She is contemplating marriage
    I cannot forgive it. We had an agreement, she and I — that we should stand together against such nonsense.

     

    Excerpt from Colin's unsent Letter to Penelope:

     

    Pen,
    What on earth are you doing? Eloise claims you’re parading about as if the marriage mart were a stage. Have you taken leave of your senses? Or is there truly some man who thinks himself worthy of you? Tell me Eloise has exaggerated as she always does. Because the thought of you—

     
    -----
    Or:

    While Colin is away in Europe, Eloise writes him with her usual flair for exaggeration: Penelope danced four times in one night. With actual suitors. Colin’s response? To rearrange his entire travel itinerary, spiral about moustaches, and declare war on waltzes lowered necklines. Through misunderstandings Colin’s chaotic and often hilarious journey to realizing his feelings for Penelope takes a few unexpected turns.

    Summary

    Colin had been looking forward to this assignment for Lonely Planet for months, but everything had changed when his best friend, Penelope, blocked his number. How was he supposed to survive five whole months without talking to someone who means so much to him?

    OR

    The one where Penelope is pissed, Colin is depressed (and very very dumb), and I brush fifteen years of dust off the art history filing cabinet in my brain.

    Summary

    Colin’s still hovering, reading her edit aloud, and Penelope’s trying not to melt under the weight of his grin.

    “You’re cheeky with this one,” he says, voice light but laced with something else, something that makes her stomach flip.

    She adjusts her glasses, fogged from that damn coffee, and shoots back, “Maybe you inspire cheekiness.”

    It’s bolder than she meant, and his laugh—low, delighted—tells her he’s not letting it slide.

    “Careful, Pen,” he teases, stepping closer, his hand still braced on the desk. “Keep talking like that, and I might have to keep you late more often.”

    Her breath catches, but she tilts her chin up, meeting his gaze. “Promise?”


    Penelope’s interning at Colin’s travel magazine, and late nights editing his latest piece spark more than words. When he finds her in his office, he shows her the perks of working under him.
