A Little More Convincing

Have you even considered that I don't want to marry you?... Colin reared back, the look of shock on his face almost comical.

A Bridgerton Fanfiction.

What if Penelope refused Colin's proposal after the carriage incident?
What if Penelope stood firm in her refusal and Colin had to work a little bit harder for that "yes"?

An alternate take going from the end of Chapter 13 of Romancing Mr. Bridgerton. Book Canon with some Show shout-outs.

Note: I love Julia Quinn and this book, but I always found that post-carriage scene and everything leading up to the wedding rather rushed and unsatisfying. So many things that I looked forward to seeing play out were just glanced over. I wanted a bit more out of their courtship. So I'm having a little fun, starting with his proposal at the end of thirteen and changing things from there.
