Colin being unable to comprehend that he can be loved - not for what he can provide, or give, or the masks he so often can put on for others - but for his true self. You see all of the emotions in his eyes, realizing that for the first time who he is, is more than enough, more than worthy

Colin “Do not worry, it is just us. It has only ever been us.” Bridgerton

I’d like to think he has whispered this to Pen a handful of times over the years. Especially dancing with her, and her being nervous, and suddenly the world disappears and it’s only them

You’re telling me that they’re both gasping for air before they even touch, aching, lingering, silently begging for more, and they still didn’t realize they wanted one another? Useless idiots, Polin I love you 😭
