"Oh, Colin," Penelope sighed in one memorable scene, her gaze lingering on his dreamy face a little too long, "If only you knew…"
Colin, oblivious as ever (bless his sweet, oblivious soul), saw Penelope as his confidante, his witty companion, his…friend. But as the seasons progressed, their connection deepened, fueled by stolen glances, shared secrets, and more than a few longing looks across crowded ballrooms.
