a starter for @bcbliophile (Colin for Penelope)
"Penelope Featherington?"
Laughter filled the fresh night air - cool as these gentlemen appeared to be. A casual air lingered about them. None courting in any serious manner, for none were found on the dance floor or eying one lady or another. They were grouped like a flock of sheep. All the same in a way. Trying to keep their best appearances. Flaunting how effortless it would be to conquer a woman - but at the same time not being interested in any of it as of now.
"The way you were dancing with her looked very interesting. Are you courting the girl, Bridgerton?" Another tested, questioning whether or not he was part of their current banter. Besides, after that disastrous attempt on courting, he did not even wish for it - let alone with someone he considered his closest friend. The whole assumption simply seemed wrong.
"Ah, are you mad? I would never dream of courting Penelope Featherington. Not in your wildest fantasies have I."
