As Colin looked at the pair from across the ballroom, the jealousy bloomed grotesquely in his chest, like a large carnivorous plant that threatened to swallow him whole. When Penelope took Lumley by the elbow, Colin felt a phantom weight at his own side, taking his arm. In that moment, he could not help the image that flashed into his mind— Penelope on his arm, beaming up at him. Her eyes were shining as they usually did in those small moments between just the two of them. The jealousy was overtaken by something else, a kind of…yearning.
