Violet had to be held up by Anthony after hearing Colin's statement, they were all shocked and looked at each other. Kate had to sit up and hold her belly and Anthony immediately ran to her side leaving his mother in Benedict's custody.
"Everything is fine?" he asked
"Yes...yes" Kate was very fond of Colin they shared their desire for freedom from conditions and stereotypes.
Penelope was white as a sheet and she had beside her on one side of her Eloise and on the other side of her Albert who was gently massaging her arm, but Penelope didn't seem to notice her. Colin watched everyone with apprehension.
The doctor ushered everyone out and gathered them in the living room.
"Sometimes a hard blow to the head can lead to momentary loss of memories, or even a previous shock may have had an effect on this, but usually it's fleeting so don't worry too much, the boy is fine."
"Do you come to check on him every now and then, doctor?" Violet asked
"There won't be any need, unless the boy feels sick or loses consciousness, in which case you have to call me right away. I'll give you some advice, spend time with him one at a time. Tell him about yourself, it could be that slowly manage to recover without any problem."
"What if he won't?" said Benedict in Colin's closest brother.
"There's a remote chance you don't remember but like I say...it's remote"
"What if he won't?" said Penelope
"We're going to rewrite Colin's story again but then again, it might not happen, let's not wrap our heads around it."
"We'll arrange to spend some time with him, so he'll probably remember soon..." Anthony said positively.
They greeted the doctor and everyone was dumbfounded for a moment and the women sighed.
"I'm retiring, excuse me," said Penelope.
"Of course dear, but we'll wait for you tomorrow too. You'll spend a while with Colin, right?" Violet said caressing her.
"Sure" she said hugging her "I'm going to say hello to Colin"
She found Colin in bed with Gregory and Hyacinth sitting with him talking about the things they had done together.
Colin laughed heartily listening to Hyacinth with his pompous talk.
"Sorry, I wanted to say hello to Colin, tomorrow if you want I'll come and read you something."
"Yeah sure thanks Pen" said Colin smiling.
Penelope was driven by Albert and Benedict home and the 2 men then decided they needed a strong drink. Albert kissed Penelope on the forehead but he felt distant from her, probably she was very worried about her friend.
Penelope entering the room immediately went to get her letters, 7 in all, which she had never read and she decided that the next day she would read them. She had to read them. She had to figure out if she maybe she could help Colin in some way, she owed him some. Despite everything Colin and her family had done to him, they had done so much for her.
She leaned into her pillows…she was destroyed. But after a while she jumped up and put her hand on her heart.
"Pen ... she called me Pen" only he called her that, with a diminutive of her name, not even her family called her that, how could she remember?
