Summary
In the year 1822, Mister Colin Bridgerton makes a grand return to England after almost 7 years of self imposed exile and reconnects with his estranged friend, Penelope. Will he be able to break the walls she keeps building between them and mend the bridges she is intent on destroying?
“What’s stopping you from living your life then, Pen? You’re living alone, aren’t you? No mother watching over your shoulder. No husband dictating your choices…”
“I mean, I can live alone, yes, but I’m still tethered. To reputation. To expectations. To the knowledge that no matter how independently I breathe, I will always be the subject of whispered pity or amusement. A woman alone is never just alone—she is sad, or defiant, or pitiful… never simply herself.”
“Come with me. For a month or two. See the world outside Mayfair parlours and boring soirees. You said you wanted to feel free. Let this be that.”
“But how? Where would we stay? What would people say, Colin? I’m not naïve—I know how this would look. Who would even accompany me as a chaperone?”
“Spinsters do not need chaperones, Pen. You said it yourself once.”

Summary
Henry’s long term partner broke up with him the morning after he was shot during a charity event and paralyzed.
Pez had been there every hour. He watched Henry come out of sedation, disoriented, whispering words that made no sense—except one. A name he hadn’t said in years unless he said it through regretful tears.
“Alex.”
Pez swallows his pride. Sits on the hospital floor, knees to his chest, and starts calling. Twelve voicemails. Some of them he doesn’t remember leaving. Some of them he wishes he hadn’t.
And then he texts Alex:
He’s asking for you in his sleep. Just your name. Nothing else. You don’t have to stay. But he’s already lost everything else—don’t let him lose this too.Bookmarked by dwarfychem

Summary
His mother was convinced he’d only moved to Notting Hill to have his own great love story. And while, yes, he may have the floppy hair and bumbling Britishness required of a Richard Curtis character, the current state of his love life (nonexistent) has Colin convinced his Hugh Grant moment is still a long way off.

Summary
“I need to remember you,” he whispered, his voice hoarse. “Every part of you. So that when I close my eyes, I can still feel you, still see you, even when we’re apart.”
