    Summary

    Penelope had grown accustomed to the chaos of Bridgerton family dinners by now. After the time Gregory accidentally set the table on fire in his excitement over Kate going into labor, she thought she had become truly prepared for anything.

    She had been wrong. So very, very wrong.

    The most pressing issue was the fact that she shouldn’t be at this particular dinner. At least not this version of her. She could see her 17-year-old self gaping in her direction, just as stunned as the rest of the invited guests, which included her mother, her deceased father, her sisters… Marina. After all, this was the night that the Featheringtons and the Bridgertons had come together to celebrate Colin’s rather-sudden first engagement.

    She remembered the evening well. In excruciating detail, in fact. How handsome Colin looked. How doting he’d been to his fiancé. How silently Pen had been screaming the entire night, just hoping someone would hear her. She distinctly did not remember some future version of herself barging in during the main course, with a sleeping two-year-old in her arms.

    Summary

    “Colin?!” Anthony asked, bewildered, looking at a man who was unmistakably his brother, but an utterly transformed version. For starters, this Colin appeared to be several years older than the 20-year-old he knew – and certainly broader across the shoulders. Beyond that, everything from his clothing to his deportment was more mature in a way that couldn’t occur overnight.

    And then, as if the universe was determined to prove Anthony even more insane – the younger brother he was used to also appeared in the entryway, lured by the sound of his name.

    “Yes, Anthony, what is it?” the more-familiar Colin asked impatiently before he caught sight of his double, and his neck whipped around. “You’re –”

    “You,” the older Colin agreed, his forehead furrowing as he took in his other self. Standing across from each other, their differences were even more apparent. “As I think you’ve surmised by now, I’m the same Colin you know – only misplaced a little. By about three years, based on the context.”

    Summary

    "I want you to marry me," he continues, voice cracking. "I love you so much and—actually, I think you love me too." His eyes stay on hers. "Do you?"

    She's frozen. Her mouth opens. Then closes. Then opens again.

    Finally, she speaks. "Are you serious right now?"

    He nods. "If you love me, Penelope…" he swallows, reaching his hand out to her. "Then just take my hand and walk out of here with me."

    The one where Colin Bridgerton literally stands up during Penelope Featherington's wedding and ruins it.
