“You know you can’t keep using them as an excuse for what you want. It feels a bit like blackmail. Very convincing blackmail but blackmail all the same.”
Donna laughs and presses a kiss right against where he imagines she can feel his heartbeat.
“Mother’s rights, I’m afraid.”

Summary
Colin leans over to ruffle her hair but she shoves him off, her heart ping-ponging around her ribcage. “I knew you’d figure it out on your own. I don’t know if anyone’s told you this, but you’re a pretty smart cookie, Penelope Featherington.”
“Not that smart,” she says churlishly, to hide the way the ball of light bursts and thrums inside of her. “Eloise figured it out when she was a kid.”
“You’re only a little bit older than I was when I came out. It’s harder when you’re bi, because you can convince yourself that the attraction you feel to the opposite gender is the real attraction. You can’t be gay, can you? Not if you still fancy girls - or boys, in your case,” he adds.
Boy, she thinks. Just boy.

Summary
“Thank you,” she whispers into the moonlight, her voice barely audible over the pounding of his own heart.
She turns to flee — and his hand darts out without his permission.
He doesn’t plan on wrapping his fingers around her wrist and pulling her right back to him.
He doesn’t plan on kissing her again.
But he does both anyway.

Summary
“Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.
“Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.
“Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.
It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.
With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn"t understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.
