    Summary

    “You and your dreams, Colin. Are they always of me, or does your subconscious sometimes favour the women of Paris?”

    He scowled at that, as if he were a child who’d not been allowed to stay awake past their bedtime. “You know damn well the only woman I dream of is you, Penelope. It’s been that way since before we were married,” he grumbled.

    Her eyes widened. “Before we were married? Although it is heartening you still wish to flatter me,” she glanced briefly down at her beringed left hand, “you jest, I am sure.”

     

    aka the one where Colin is self-aware and tells his wife exactly how much he yearned for her

    Summary

    Penelope fell in love then. Irrationally, for sure – she didn’t even know his name! – but she was so unaccustomed to people greeting her mistakes with grace that she was helpless to the way her heart leapt straight out of her chest and into the safekeeping of the boy in the hyacinth bed.

    “I’m Colin, by the way.”

    “Penelope.”

    Summary

    In the midst of his panic, he happened to glance at the clock. Eleven thirty. Shit.

    He'd told Gina to be at his at midday, and he knew she wouldn't be late. If anything, she'd arrive early, ever punctual and prepared.

    Ricky raced through the shower, almost slipping on the bathroom tiles in the process, and 'cleaned' his room faster than he thought was possible. He threw on the cleanest pair of jeans that he could find, and a hoodie of his that he knew Gina loved. (She'd likely end up going home in it.)

    At eleven fifty-five, the doorbell rang. Within seconds, he was at the door.

    -

    Alternatively, 'Ricky Bowen is hopelessly in love with Gina Porter'.
