Summary
Penelope Featherington is having a terrible day. She's running late for work and now her favourite coffee shop is closed for the day. It's being used as a filming location for some new tv show; good for them, but bad for her caffeine addiction. Little does she know that her bad luck that morning is going to flip her world upside down.

Summary
Colin lifts his hand with the cigarette to his lips at the same that his eyes open, his head turns, and he first notices Penelope standing there watching him.
"Fuck," he mutters before looking away from her and to the window. "I'm sorry."
She isn't sure what he's apologizing for really—for smoking or fighting with Marina or maybe both. Regardless, it breaks a little part of her to see him looking so dejected and sad. There's a light missing from him, a weight pulling him down and making him seem smaller. It's not fair, though. He's so inherently good. He doesn't deserve to feel like this. He doesn't deserve to be treated like this. He deserves—
Penelope can't help but blink in surprise even at just the meandering path of her own thoughts, at the idea that just popped into her head about what exactly she thinks Colin Bridgerton deserves at this moment and what exactly she'd like to do to make him feel better. It's ridiculous, right? She shouldn't… She couldn't… But what if she did?
--
Flatmates Penelope and Colin take a winding, complicated, messy path on their friends to lovers journey.

“What’s wrong?”
“Erm… well… fuck. Ok. Colin.” She clears her throat. “I’m so sorry, but this is a call of shame.”
“A what?”
“A call of shame. I might… I might have chlamydia.”
“Oh.” MY FUCKING GOD. He doesn’t say that part out loud but he thinks it very loudly. “Ok.” She’s going to be freaking out.
“No. No, not ok. Not ok at all. We fucked!”
“I remember.” It is absolutely top of the wank bank.
“And not like sensible adults.”
“I remember that too.” If felt fucking incredible.
“So you might have chlamydia.”
“I understand how STIs work, Pen.”

Summary
Colin's brothers, helpful sorts that they are, decide there's only one cure for his lingering virginity: a trip to a brothel.
The plan goes about as well as expected.
Convinced he's the only man in England incapable of wanting a stranger, Colin spends the next week wondering if something is terribly wrong with him.
Then Penelope Featherington makes one scandalously amusing joke, and Colin discovers that perhaps the problem was never a lack of desire.
Perhaps he's simply been in love with his best friend.
