Summary
When Colin and Penelope run into Lord Debling as a couple for the first time, their awkward conversation unearths lingering doubts and insecurities.
Penelope nearly gasped at the veiled insult. Only two horses had pulled her carriage the night Colin had run after her to confess his love, but there seemed little purpose in arguing the point. She turned to Colin to gauge his reaction. His lips were frozen into a thin, white line as though he might blow a gust of icy wind into Debling’s face and freeze off his eyebrows.
“Perhaps if you introduced some meat into your diet, you would have more stamina,” Colin hissed low enough for only Penelope to hear. She squeezed his fingers still laced with hers, a gentle show of support alongside a warning not to lose his temper on the street. It would not do for the three of them to appear urgent and disturbed in public.
Colin flashed a brittle smile. “So you do read my wife’s work, Debling. I was given to understand that Lady Whistledown is too pedestrian for your tastes; that you do not lower yourself to be concerned with society.”
