    Summary

    ㅤ🎶 And then I go and spoil it all

    by saying somethin’ stupid like I love you 🎶

    It all started when Penelope openly lost her marbles during the staff meeting, a week after their trip to Aubrey Hall.

    A single long weekend–meant for sweet marshmallow-roasting–had turned their bond of nearly two decades into a wreckage of silent suffering, stretching her resolve so thin she snapped. She wanted to claw her way out of her Colin-shaped bubble wrap because she couldn’t breathe anymore.

    So, why not pour gasoline on the fire in front of the whole office?

    All she wanted was to avoid him. All he wanted was for her to talk to him and tell him what broke her. The only communication–forced and charged with tension–begs the question: could the remains of their friendship vanishing before their eyes force them to see what they've both been too blind to admit, or will they insist on saying something stupid that isn't ”I love you”?

    Summary

    Kids,

    The moment I first saw your mother I knew she was The One. Fate, with its great sense of humor, had ensured I’ve been 🤏close to meeting her so many times before.

    I’ve met my fair share of insightful, interesting, intriguing, infuriating and intoxicating women in the wildest of circumstances: as a teenage pen pal, an online nemesis, a flirty discord situationship, even got myself a wedding plus-one from an online app. But these virtual romances always flickered; something was missing. And as if I wasn't trying hard enough, my meddling siblings conspired to set me up with a blind date for Daphne's wedding.

    The truth is, I was learning to trust this chaotic journey through life, despite the pain and self-doubt. Every connection, every goodbye, was merely another piece falling into place in an elaborate 3D puzzle, unveiling her as the woman I was meant to find.

    And the biggest lesson life taught me was this: true connection comes from the most unexpected sources, demanding we shed our masks. While revealing our true selves carries a price, for the right person, unfolding every hidden part of our heart is infinitely worth it.

    Because it led me to the love of my life.
