This look Colin has is a pure surprise. That guy is shook. Not embarassed, not amused, shocked.
Because he'd never seen Pen being awkward.
She was always herself around him, so easy going, comfortable, and natural.
"You know how to wave your fan and flutter your lashes." That implies she's done that before with him, with absolute ease and he noticed.
He thought this would be easy, that guy didn't even stop to think, he straight up went to those men, because he knew she could do this from the start. He just didn't know it was around him only. And now he's like wtf is happening, now is not the time to try something new, do you usual flirting!
I did not came up with this, unfortunately, I can't find the original video on tiktok, so I can't credit the person who did.
I didn’t really need a groveling Colin. I think he suffered enough when Pen didn’t respond to any of his letters.
What I wanted was a conversation about what he said. Pen could have asked him WHY he said what he said. I felt they moved on a tad too fast to the charm lessons that ended a tad too fast.
my favourite in the world is people raving about colin's confession in the carriage because it's not even his true love confession, if they're true to the books, which they have been, colin's very passionate, very romantic, very heart stopping love confession is going to have people on their knees.
Reading Romancing Mr Bridgerton on my phone is so funny cause I’ll randomly start giggling like ‘this fanfic is so wild for that!’ Then I realise I’m on the book app reading the actual book and proceed to giggle and kick my feet even harder…
Okay, the scene in the book where Anthony does a toast and Colin makes Pen drink his glass, then drinks her glass… I know that ballroom did a double take.
