Summary
Even after he and Pen are married, Colin Bridgerton doesn't always quite get it. The past, though being what led to his beautiful life today, still bothers him - how could there have ever been a time when his feelings left Penelope unsure?
Thinking back... maybe he was, like the rest of the universe, figuring out how to express just how sure he was.
The flowers figured it out first.

Summary
"Pen and Alfie are having their third date on Friday night!" Hyacinth explained with the kind of giddy smile only a teenage girl could credibly muster, while simultaneously leaning over the table and attempting to steal Eloise’s wine glass. Penelope, meanwhile, looked directly up at the ceiling, mortified that once again the entire table was weighing in on her love life. Could she not have any peace?
"Hmmm." Colin pretended to consider the point, but he was mostly trying to stop his lip from curling. He did not like Alfie Debling. What kind of stupid name was that anyway? What grown man went by “Alfie”? He sounded like someone’s pet dachshund. “Ooo Alfie come here for belly rubs”, “Don’t shit on the rug, Alfie”.
*****
Colin Bridgerton finds himself in the unenviable position of having offered to help Penelope Featherington cook a seduction dinner for her plant-loving paramour. It just happens to be the same dinner that was prepared for Colin before he lost his virginity, and it is bringing back regrets and all kinds of feelings for his best friend that he thought he had buried away for good.

Summary
"What do you mean a cat got you married?"
Ten years ago, Colin Bridgerton discovered Penelope Featherington's secret identity and lost a fiancée (or two) to her pen. He has not spoken to her since... until her wedding morning, when he marches into her drawing room to relitigate a decade of grievances, cravat regrettably still tied.
Enters Beanie — full name Lady Imogene Bean Blackmoor Featherington-Whiskerstone — who takes one look at the furious Bridgerton and decides he must be removed. Several scratches, one ruined cravat, one compromised petticoat, and an extremely badly timed Archbishop later, Colin must marry the woman he has grown to despise.
And the cat, by mutual agreement (not really), the dowry.
And while the couple has absolutely no plans of falling in love, Lady Imogene Bean Blackmoor Featherington-Whiskerstone remains paw-sitively convinced it's only a matter of time. She has, after all, impeccable instincts for scratches, scandals, and happurrly-ever-after.
