she studied him carefully , blue eyes so focused on his much darker ones. it was clear that he was acting . . . well , not like himself. but this was only further emphasized when he took her hand ( not that that was odd for them , ) but it was what followed that caused penelope to PANIC. as he spoke , she only felt . . . dejected. although his tone was full of care , and gentle —- the matter of subject was what was upsetting her. her brows furrowed deeply , gaze looking away from his . . . she made to interject , to argue with him. until it was his hand reaching for her cheek , and his touch , of course —- on her bare skin , ignited something she had been trying so diligently to REPRESS.
he is your friend , she thinks. nothing more , no matter how kind or gentle or caring.
gathering up the courage to form a rebuttal to his words , she swallowed. her hand moved to rest atop the one placed upon her cheek , and for one very brief moment , she allowed it to stay there. her head full of so many thoughts , their shared kiss at the forefront of her mind. then , she snapped back to REALITY. reminded herself that her love was an unrequited fantasy , and pushed down all of her imaginings , all of the love that she had for him , down , down , down. with all of the willpower that she could muster , she took his hand and removed it from her cheek , only to bring it back down to his side , letting go. ❝ colin , you are right . . . i do not know him but , i do not think you truly do either. ❞ how could he ? half of his time was spent fending off the attention from his ONSLAUGHT of admirers. ❝ i’m grateful , that you see me in this way —- truly. you are a better friend to me than i deserve. but colin , what we did . . . i was nearly ruined. i should thank lord debling for being reasonable , for looking past my low standing in society. besides , we are simply just courting. i’m sure i will get to know him much more , but you can rest assured that he is a kind man. i do not have to pretend around him , and he accepts me for all of my shortcomings. ❞ well , even her mother had told her she should take what she can get.
she takes a step towards him , her body practically betraying her. acting on its own accord. but she smiles softly nonetheless, and looks up to match his GAZE. ❝ i’m so thankful , to you. for all of your help. if lord debling does propose , i will have you to thank for that. but i promise you that i will thoroughly get to know him before making any rash decisions. —- ❞ she finishes her sentiments off with another lighthearted laugh. ❝ but forget about me , truly . . . you are the one with prospects galore. ❞ she joked , because if she did not . . . she might very well cry. ❝ i’m sure those mama’s will make a husband out of you some day. i'll be here patiently waiting to see it. ❞
Colin had been lost in thought, his mind drifting back and forth to Lord Debling and the fact that he had called upon Pen; it seemed that things were becoming serious, and quickly, and that only made him feel worse. Why couldn't he be enthusiastic for Pen, why was his chest suddenly feeling heavy and melancholic feelings haunted him? He felt bad, for sure, Pen deserved better from her best friend, and he was aware of that, yet it was hard for him to process all of it... he could see the hint of sadness in her eyes when he didn't reciprocate her excitement so he knew he had to be vocal about his feelings.
He waited for her to finish her train of thoughts so he would not interrupt her. Her mention of the Queen's ball and their dance brought a lightness to the conversation, but, he still felt like he needed to take things off his chest.
He reached out, gently taking her hand. ❝ Pen ... we must talk. ❞ he let out a sigh, gathering courage to continue … ❝ I think ... that you should get to know Lord Debling a little more before going further with this choice ... ❞ he offered her a nervous smile, eyes darting out to hers. ❝ I know you must be thrilled that he's shown interest in you, but you're not just anyone… you're Penelope Featherington and I KNOW there is someone else... someone ... better, for you. Specifically made for YOU. ❞ his gaze got more intense, he wanted her to know that he was genuine, his words coming from his heart and he didn't want, not even for one second, to hurt her.
In one last desperate attempt, he reached out with his free hand to touch her cheek. ❝ You mean a lot and ... ❞ his tone got softer and voice almost trembling while he continued, ❝ and ... I wish you knew how much you've got to offer. Lord Debling is not the match you want, not the match you deserve.❞ he was aware of how desperate he must seem, but he couldn't let her just waste away her life in the arms of another.
#omg wow sorry for how long this is. u don't have to match length !!#this was actually painful to write ... like pls penelope get it together#her insecurities really said no i think not!#i appreciate how absolutely bonkers he is about her though like chaotic goblin colin really is thriving rn#she's just like ... pls friend don't do this to my heart it can't take any more rejection fiejrfijer#THREADS. / maybe she was something a little bit more.#INT. / with colin . . . tr4velers.#tr4velers

penelope simply nods in agreement , despite never having seen benedict’s art herself . . . she somehow knew sophie was telling the TRUTH. it had brought many questions to the forefront of pen’s mind , but her eyes only find themselves studying the work sophie diligently labored over. at least until she decides to speak her thoughts aloud —- ❝ so it is the lack of belief in himself . . . that causes him to —- well , hide his art ? if that is truly what he is even doing. ❞ she had simply made an inference , as penelope was not close enough to benedict to know what ailed him. what she did know , however —- was that she felt similarly about her writing.
she should be ashamed of lady whistledown , and sometimes in the recesses of her mind , she was. but there was no part of her at the moment that could think of any good reason to give it up. it was her voice , the only thing she had for herself. she was not ready to share that with the WORLD , and might never be , but it was hers and hers alone. so , penelope offers sophie another smile , glad to know there were so many others that had felt love from the bridgertons.
❝ i’ve heard good things about emma. ❞ penelope offers with a smile , ❝ i’ve yet to read it myself though. when you finish , you must tell me if it has a happy ending or not. i can only stomach happy tales of love these days. ❞
What did Benedict have to say? WELL.. that was to be seen. She picked up one of Hyacinth's gowns that lay upon her lap, needle and thread upon the hemline as she fixed what needed to be fixed with a rather PERFECT HAND. Sophie always put others before herself, it cost nothing to be kind and so Sophie was always good natured, even if she was fiery and stubborn at times. "If there is one thing I will say about Bene-- Mr Bridgerton, his art is very good. Brilliant even." A COMPLIMENT, which brought a small smile across her features.
"He needs someone to believe in him, or to believe in himself. His art could very well go up in the National Gallery it is that good" Kind eyes looked briefly up to Penelope. "If there is one thing Lady Whistledown could say about the Bridgerton family, it is that they are beyond kind and generous.. although I am sure you Miss Featherington know that already" Sophie stated, it wasn't a JIBE, she knew that Eloise and Penelope had been CLOSE FRIENDS. Sophie finished the sewing tying it off correctly before holding the gown up to observe it in the light, a smile of SATISFACTION across her features.
"there, now that is done for Hyacinth, I can take half an hour for my break. I usually sit by the window and read, the Jane Austin book Emma has been quite good I have found." Sophie commented, she enjoyed reading romance novels the most in her spare time, PERHAPS because it gave her a SENSE OF JOY that she couldn't have in the real world. Knowing how she felt for Benedict, no other man would be able to match him, at least not in the depths of her soul.

❝ being with child , ❞ she offered , rather matter - of - fact. ❝ a maid . . . she said it was because of love , love is what brings children. ❞ and penelope shutters at the thought. ❝ yet , my mother has said love is not a prerequisite for marriage. that well , sometimes it is not even needed. ❞ portia’s marriage with penelope’s father had been PROOF of that very thing. she had been trying to connect the dots for weeks , eloise had been of little help , but —-- daphne was older , and she had a duke as well as a prince vying for her attention at one point , so penelope was hopeful that this was the bridgerton who would tell all. ❝ eloise and i can hardly make any sense of it all , hard as we might try. and i just cannot understand why it has to be so . . . secretive. being with child is something that is typically celebrated , and yet . . . i know very little of the details. ❞ —- her gaze shifts to her hands out of nervousness , and then she gathers the courage to look back up at daphne only to offer an apologetic smile. ❝ i know it is not an appropriate matter to discuss , so i hope you can forgive me for that. i’m simply . . . curious. there must be another explanation , something beyond . . . love ? ❞
daphne found penelope's words undeniably truthful, they remained a little confusing. undeterred by the lack of immediate comprehension, daphne displayed a genuine willingness to delve deeper. penelope, a girl she had known for years through her sister eloise, had always been on the quieter side, preferring the fringes of social gatherings. despite this, she had always enjoyed penelope's company, making a point to greet her whenever their paths crossed. now, with a subtly raised eyebrow and an encouraging smile, daphne silently invited the other to elaborate. ❛perhaps you could explain it to me, then?❜

penelope gives the woman a polite nod , but she considers her words carefully. colin bridgerton had once told her that she had a unique way of seeing others , of seeing him. her heart fluttered at the thought , and maybe that was why the rejection he had so PLAINLY served her hurt so terribly. she could do more than sympathize with the girl , for she had experienced it first hand. ❝ wouldn’t it be better though , to be rejected ? you could simply . . . move on. ❞ she paused , wondering if the honesty in her question was too much , and so she backtracks. ❝ i apologise , i just . . . i suppose i wonder what would happen if you were honest with him. if you were to TELL him how you feel , it could lead to something wonderful. or . . . well , perhaps you would face rejection. but then you would not have to wonder anymore , and you would be —- free. ❞
penelope swallows , it had been far too late for her to take the advice she was offering unsolicited. colin had given her that rejection without even having to utter the truth aloud , so he had saved her , perhaps —- from the humiliation of it all. maybe she should thank him one day for that. ❝ being a spinster is not such a terrible fate. my mother had once told me that a life unmarried is not all bad , and sometimes . . . well men are not the same as they are in the stories. a husband could simply just be . . . a hindrance , an ire even. no privacy , no affection or love —- if you marry the wrong one , that is. ❞ —- as her own mother had.
At Penelope's question, Thinya felt her cheeks turn slightly pinker. Her heart was aching, she knew that this wouldn't be a possible love. After all, Benedict was often seen with ladies who were of a certain age, enjoying his freedom and not really willing to settle for marriage. The young woman suffered in silence and preferred not saying anything, by fear of being rejected.
"I stay discreet due to the fear of being rejected. Yes, I am the daughter of a Count, but this doesn't make me desperate enough to jump and secure my match. Besides.." Her green hues looked at Benedict, who was checking on another woman. "He doesn't seem interested in marriage." She looked down, pain clearly readable on her features as she sighed. "I don't think I am the right woman for him." She said reluctantly, though her heart was screaming at her to try at least.
When Penelope talked about Benedict, Thinya agreed with her words. "He is, indeed. Which is why my heart fell instantly for him." A kind smile came across her face as she looked at her friend. "I am not brave enough to tell him. I am not strong enough to face a rejection and see him enjoying other women. If I do end up rejected by him, I guess my only fate will be to end up as a spinster."
#not her being like : lets be spinsters TOGETHER !!!#sapphircs#THREADS. / maybe she was something a little bit more.#INT. / with thinya . . . sapphircs.

penelope and secrecy were indeed two words that did not seem to fit well together. she had spent her second season out realizing that lady whistledown and penelope herself were two sides of the same coin ; not easily separated . . . and lying in those scandal sheets had gotten her NOWHERE. nowhere but simply friendless , all through her own doing. so she offers the other girl a gentle smile , and changes the subject swiftly. ❝ there are not many secrets in the ton , not with lady whistledown around. i'm sure she will likely write what everyone else is thinking , but won't dare say aloud. ❞ penelope reaches for a glass of lemonade sitting on the table beside them , and takes a languid sip. ❝ it was a BORE , the music was tragic , the queen's interest was wholly elsewhere . . . ❞ now that they had established the honesty between themselves , it rolled off of penelope's tongue with ease. ❝ now that we are being honest with each other —- i would have preferred staying home with a good book. ❞
relief swept over her as the other lady responded to her comment with nothing but good humour and understanding. always a solace to know that one was not alone in their opinion in a crowd, especially when the opposite could make them feel more than a little cruel. besides it was clear the quartet on stage were putting in quite a bit of effort and at the very least their outfits were beautiful. "well i suppose if someone did not appreciate my honesty we were destined never to get on for too long anyway," a sentiment her mother had taught a young ellie when she lamented her struggles bonding with other girls her age. "inspite of that your secrecy is appreciated."

@storiesbreathed / eloise said ❝ can we talk ? alone ? ❞
❝ oh . . . uh , yes —- of course. ❞ it takes so much out of penelope to even respond , fighting her instinct to simply freeze , or worse . . . run from it , from facing her. how miserable it was to have gotten to this point with eloise bridgerton , when just last year they had been practically inseparable. it was PAINFUL , to see her so content without her , and to watch the brewing friendship between eloise and cressida blossom. penelope had been full of grief , but most importantly . . . so much guilt. because it truly had been all her doing , even now —- having the chance to speak with eloise felt like a privilege in and of itself. penelope could not let it go to waste. ❝ come —- ❞ she tilts her head in the direction of a quiet and secluded corner , one of very few in the hartigan estate.
only when it is clear that they have escaped listening ears and peering eyes , does penelope allow herself to speak. ❝ eloise , if this is about earlier . . . i apologise , i did not expect lord debling to see me or even ENGAGE in conversation with me for that matter , i —- i know cressida is , well . . . whatever she wants from him , i do not intend to stand in her way. it is just complicated , considering what whistledown has written of me , well . . . thanks to your brother , his heroic pursuits seem to have distracted them for now. still , i did not intentionally set out to put any of us in this position but —- ❞ and she stops only to let out a frustrated sigh , realizing that she was rambling on and on , surely not what eloise wanted to listen to. ❝ i apologise if i have put you in the middle of this , is all i mean to say. —- this was what you wanted to speak of , is it not ? ❞
#i love their break up angst but i also am not prepared for the Real angst that is coming in pt two#so i felt like this was a good middle ground#i miss them so much idk how to cope actually#storiesbreathed#INBOX. / this author cannot keep quiet for long.

@stormlit / amalia said ❝ it’s more about confidence than anything else. ❞
❝ well that is not much help , as confidence is exactly what i do not have. ❞ and penelope's mask slips , frustration EVIDENT as she lets out an irritated sigh. amalia cannot be blamed for this however . . . no , this was her own doing. she could be so stupid at times , and thinking she would be able to somehow overcome the wallflower title , to trick the masses into forgetting that she was just another poorly dressed featherington daughter . . . well that seemed to be her biggest crime yet. turning away from the other , she finds the nearest surface and flops miserably down onto it. ❝ i can be confident , around you . . . i used to be around friends , but i don't even have much of those these days. ❞ ugh god , this pity party was getting pathetic. ❝ instead of confidence , maybe . . . just tell me what you do. you are smart , and confident . . . you have an apt for speaking and are quite pretty to look at ! everyone seems to love you , in fact. you cannot tell me it is all simply just confidence ? ❞
#i hope its ok i kind of assumed a friendship i though it would be fun !! but it also could be one sided and amalia could hate her guts#INBOX. / this author cannot keep quiet for long.#stormlit
