Summary
One night in bed, Colin allows Pen to read one of his more vulnerable journal entries, written after their conversation beneath the willow tree after their first kiss. It is full of longing and regret, love he'd thought he'd lost. It's all a bit overwhelming for them both.

Summary
A little missing scene post the delayed wedding night moment between Colin and Pen in Episode 8 where Colin explains his reasons for not being able to share intimacy until things were resolved between them. And a bit more sexy times, cause that's just fun.

Summary
The sight before him upon opening the door is one he shall remember until his last hair has gone gray. His beloved, his Pen, standing before the mirror, disheveled curls the color of fire dancing across the peaches and cream skin of her back peeking through the still loosened corset, skirted undergarments twisted about her waist and her eyes, wide and impossibly blue meeting his over her still bare shoulder.
She’s so beautiful. And he is an idiot, for not seeing her sooner. He must have been half blind.
(my take on the redressing that had to occur after the mirror scene - very mild M)

Summary

Summary
This is a live example of how an author can create linked footnotes in their work with only a little bit of HTML and no workskins required. This is best viewed by clicking "Entire Work". While I've included the actual coding in bold and italic once you click "Hide Creator's Style", there's a more detailed explanation here.
EDIT 6/28/17: The third chapter now shows how to use anchor links as an index/table of contents.
