Summary
At their biggest London show yet, The Bluebells take the stage.
During the last set, between the songs, Colin Bridgerton opens up to the roaring crowd, sharing the stories behind each track: the childhood memories, the quiet moments, the family mayhem, and the pieces of growing up that shaped their sound. Waiting just offstage is Penelope Featherington, first his friend, his closest confidante, and now his girlfriend, hearing each story right along with everyone else.
As the night builds from soft beginnings to a spectacular finale, Colin’s memories reveal the heart behind the lyrics: friendship, devotion, bravery, and the kind of love that grows slowly and surely over years.
Or
Every song tells a part of the same story.

Summary
Penelope Bridgerton had had quite a day at work. And even saying that was an understatement. Her boss– bless her– was Penelope’s ultimate nightmare, the latte she’d been so eager for was made completely wrong, she had to clean up the mess she left on her desk from yesterday’s work, the fax machine was jammed, she missed a deadline— she could go on. Everything that could have possibly gone wrong, went wrong. The cliche of all cliches.
By 3pm she was positively suffering and over her entire day, and that’s when Colin Bridgerton decided to make her terrible day insufferable.Series

Summary
In the Bridgerton universe, Penelope heard “I will never court Penelope Featherington, not in my wildest dreams”. In this, Colin will accidently listen to…
“What can I do, Eloise? He just can never see me beyond the ugly duckling”. Her voice sounded almost painfully sad at the end of her breath.
Colin’s steps just immediately stop, wondering why he has to eavesdrop and not soothing his best friend, his legs lose all the strength to keep moving. Why did I know she was in distress? Why? Who said that Penelope? “You are not ugly Pen, you’re beautiful”. He murmured to himself. “You are”. Those words are barely more than a whisper.
His soul crashed to the ground, 6 feet under perhaps… hearing the reply to Penelope unrealistic insecurities. “Does Colin even know that you yearned for him?”
