Summary
"It’s been so long that I don’t even know how to start… It would be different if I could talk to her face to face, but I can’t just catch a plane and knock on her door. Besides, she must be different now, you’ve seen how confident and gorgeous she looked, she’s famous, she has a boyfriend… I’m just the guy who betrayed her trust.”
OR
Five years after Colin and Penelope had a falling out, she's back in London for work. Their lives have changed drastically during that time, but Colin is determined to get her back as the dear friend she once was or, ideally, -now that he's finally realised the extent of his feelings for her- something more.
So much more.

Summary
Penelope swallows and a lump forms in her throat. Those are the things Colin does: putting his arms around her, smiling as if he means it, talking about her as if she’s important. He has always been affectionate with her, she knows he cares for her. But it’s something else to hear the words coming so easily from his lips when he says them for the whole world to see. If the interview is ever published, surely no one will blame her for being so obviously smitten.
