Summary
"Everyone has their unrequited love story, yeah? My best friend, she had a brother. Well, she had four brothers, but there was one in particular. He was like the sun… and I—I was constantly pulled into his orbit."
It was a throwaway line in a throwaway interview that nobody was meant to read.
A story about missed connections and growing older and what happens when you finally stop running.

Summary
Penelope Featherington is an expert at being invisible. Deep in the throes of her PhD research, away from friends and family in a small Aberdeen attic, she has perfected the act of hiding her struggles from everyone. When a trip to London confirms her worst fears, she retreats to her cosy sanctuary, ready to let the world forget her entirely.
But someone was paying closer attention than she realised.
While everyone else accepted her polite texts and vague excuses, Colin Bridgerton noticed. Haunted by a moment of thoughtless betrayal and a sudden, terrifying need to bridge the distance between them, he follows her into the cold Scottish rain to join her under the rafters of her tiny attic.Bookmarked by chellebird

Summary
Colin walks away from her and Penelope gets the sudden urge to film the moment. She picks up her phone and starts recording just as the applause for Francesca is dying, and captures Colin taking a steadying breath. Right before he exits to the stage, he turns to look at her once more. When he sees Penelope filming, he smirks, sticks his tongue out and winks at her, and then the public roars again as he appears under the spotlights.
The video will be amazing, she knows. A blend of Colin, the famous artist and Colin, the goofy boy she fell in love with condensed in twenty seconds. Penelope has spent her whole life believing she could only have space in Colin’s life if she resigned herself to be the best friend who would never ask for more, but tonight is proving to be different.

Summary
Colin and Penelope had an unlikely friendship with a side of purely inquisitive, deeply scientific fascination. On Penelope's part anyway. It was just an infatuation. Because of course she hadn’t fallen in love with him when she was eleven, or fifteen, or twenty-five.
That would be ridiculous.
They were just friends. That’s how friends behave.
Right?
But what if the fabric of their being was tied to the other? And even after the first fracture they both held on? What if it all came down to timing?
OR:
Penelope thinks this is the closest she’ll ever get to him.
Colin thinks this is the closest she’ll ever let him get.
